Sustainable investing is on the ballot
If you are hoping to retire next year, then climate change probably won’t significantly impact your ability to retire comfortably.
However, if you have a longer retirement horizon, then the impacts of climate change on the security of your future will be unavoidable.
Say you want to retire in 25 years and live in a beachside bungalow. If you bought that property now without considering the fact U.S. coastlines are expected to rise at least a foot by 2050, in 25 years you might end up in an uninsurable home vulnerable to severe and frequent flood damage.
