Michael Bloomberg asks, “How much economic risk does the United States face from the impacts of climate change?”

“How much economic risk does the United States face from the impacts of climate change?” The Risky Business initiative will help us find out. Risky Business is a joint initiative of Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Office of former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, and Next Generation. The Risky Business Initiative includes two core components: • An independent risk assessment to reveal the likely financial risk the United States faces from unmitigated climate change. • An engagement effort - led by top national and regional leaders from across the American economic and political spectrum – to help leaders from the economic sectors most at risk from a changing climate prepare a measured response to the risks they face. Tune in as we talk with Kate Gordon, Executive Director of the Risky Business Initiative!
