During Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's confirmation hearing she was asked about what her role will be in addressing #climatechange. It's no surprise that she brought up carbon pricing because she's been a proponent of this solution for years. "I will look to appoint someone at a very senior level to lead our efforts and to create a hub within Treasury where we particularly focus on financial systems related risk and tax policy incentives towards climate change." "We strongly believe that every government should price emissions, and while that's not the only policy that's necessary, that is a critical tool to create the right incentives for a transition to net zero." #carbontax #netzero #carbonemissions

From his first day at West Point to his years of deployment in Afghanistan, retired four-star U.S. Army General Stanley McChrystal is no stranger to the deadly risks of combat. Throughout his illustrious career and efforts helping business leaders navigate a global pandemic, General McChrystal has seen how individuals and organizations have failed to mitigate risk by focusing solely on the probability of something happening as opposed to the interface by which it can be managed. In his new book, Risk: A User’s Guide, McChrystal and co-author Anna Butrico offer a battle-tested system for detecting and responding to risk. This book offers an alternative way of maintaining a healthy "risk immune system" that involves monitoring 10 different dimensions of control the authors say can be adjusted at any time to effectively anticipate, identify, analyze and act upon the ever-present possibility that things will not go as planned. Join us as General McChrystal reveals an entirely new way to understand risk and master the unknown. NOTES Photo by Leading Authorities, Inc.
