Cleanweb May - Climate Change

This month, (if you excuse the terrible pun in the title) we're looking at where the world of finance and cleanweb intersect.

What happens to your pensions when their value is tied to companies who base their stock price on unburnable carbon?

What kinds of environmental data is being used to change how people invest in companies?

How is the web being used to speed up the rollout of renewables and help people save at the the same time?

We'll be looking into this, and admiring London's skyline in the ultra swanky offices of Climate Change Capital (http://www.climatechangecapital.com/contact-us/offices/london-uk.aspx), next to City Hall by London Bridge.
