Big news to share!

As some of you may already know, earlier this year, the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy was approached by one of the Maryland State Delegates to determine if the school had any enterprising graduate students who would be willing to help them look into how adequately the Maryland State Pension and Retirement System is addressing the potential risks posed by climate change to the pension fund. My name was one of two that was put forward for the project.
As a result, I am co-author on a high profile report that examines the potential impact of climate risk on Maryland's $47 billion pension and retirement system (SRPS). We examined, among other things, what SRPS is currently doing, what the best investment practices are among a range of domestic and foreign pension and retirement systems, and provide some insight into things that SRPS would be advised to consider.
I've been working on it since the start of this year, and it was officially published on the Center of Global Sustainability (CGS) website today. Accompanying this will be an op-ed in the Baltimore Sun, and a public forum held in the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy in early October with some high profile speakers.
If you'd like to know more about the report, you can find the CGS news release here:
