My prediction for 2026 based on the hard-won truths of 2025— #CleanEnergy innovation will continue to outpace expectations. #Nature and #water stewardship are no longer side issues—they’re central to economic resilience. Read more in my latest Forbes op-ed: www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl...

For 15+ years, EPA’s #GHGRP has been the backbone of U.S. emissions transparency—helping investors manage #ClimateRisk & fund clean innovation. Rolling it back weakens market stability & makes U.S. firms less attractive for investment. www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl... #ClimateDisclosure

#NatureAction + #ClimateAction must go hand in hand. We heard this message loud and clear from #LondonClimateActionWeek to #ClimateWeekNYC to #COP30 this year. I explain how the private sector is driving this conversation in my latest column: www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl... @forbes.com

Despite the headlines, companies + investors aren’t just maintaining their sustainability commitments—they’re accelerating them. Why? Because #sustainability is good for business + long-term value.

A new economy is rising. Business is the engine driving economic growth, better jobs, energy security & lower bills - but governments must set the course.

#COP30 is our moment to accelerate the transition.

Our new benchmark pinpoints corporate water stewardship gaps + best practices driving progress. It’s a key resource for investors engaging portfolio companies on water risks through the Valuing Water Finance Initiative—the only investor-led global effort focused on water action.
Ceres’ new benchmark of corporate water stewardship shows companies are making progress on complex water issues, but it still falls short of the urgency and scale of growing water scarcity and pollution.

U.S. insurers know climate risks are rising—but too few are showing how they’ll reduce their long-term exposure. Short-term risk management won’t hold as weather-related disasters escalate.

Read here for 3 steps insurers can take: www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl...
How U.S. Insurers Must Move Beyond Climate Disclosure To Strategic Action
U.S. insurers are making progress on disclosure and immediate climate risk, but real resilience depends on long-term action to confront escalating weather threats.

Climate-fueled disasters are upending lives across the U.S.—yet the EPA is proposing to repeal the Endangerment Finding, the legal backbone for limiting climate pollution.

Health and economic risks are sure to increase. Read more in my @reuters.com op-ed: www.reuters.com/sustainabili...
How a retreat by the EPA would endanger the U.S. economy
Four years ago this month, Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 4 storm, packing 150-mile-an-hour winds. Over one million homes and businesses lost power. Oil production was shut down and key transportation, fuel and logistics supply chains across the nation were crippled for weeks. The storm caused more than $75 billion in economic damage. For many Americans, this reality crystalized how climate-fueled weather events are already upending daily lives. Escalating disasters since then, from flooding in North Carolina last year to this January’s Los Angeles fires, keep driving that point home.

As the federal gov’t pulls back on climate & energy leadership, states are stepping up—modernizing the grid, expanding EVs, and building clean energy that boosts jobs, cuts costs & accelerates innovation.

State policymakers know what’s at stake.
