Interests:
I am interested to advance research and discussion in this area because I believe that destruction of the world through unmitigated climate change is against the regulations. The evolution of fiduciary duty has involved decades of admirable work to achieve a noble objective. God forbid that conservatism and a narrow minded attitude to investment should be allowed to betray the trust of citizens across the world, with dangerous and perhaps even apocalyptic consequences.
