Since 1980, the U.S. has experienced almost 3 trillion dollars in climate-related losses, rapidly increasing over time. Climate change impacts all of us, and it is time that corporations are held responsible for their role in harming our environment and accelerating climate change. It is also time for our largest financial institutions to acknowledge climate change as the serious threat it is and take the necessary measures to protect the U.S. economy from disaster.
