Sustainability Book Club #14 - Investing to Save the Planet

Register Here. 

Join us for our 14th bookclub, where we discuss Investing to Save the Planet by Alice Ross.

About the book:

No longer a niche sector for rebel fund managers, conscious investing has the potential to raise huge sums of money to the companies and organisations on the front line fighting the climate crisis and make investors positive returns in the process.

In this essential introduction to green investing, Alice Ross shows you how you can turn your savings and pensions, however big or small, into a force for change. You will learn:

– Which sectors are leading the charge by developing cutting-edge solutions; from smart farming to renewable energy

– How to cut through ‘alphabet soup’ jargon and identify ‘greenwashing’

– The ways you can maximise your economic power and hold those you’re investing in to account

In the past, we have gathered at the pub but due to Covid-19 we are now hosting our bookclubs as online Zoom calls. We will send out the link to the call on the day. You can get cosy at home, pour yourself a glass or mug of your favourite drink and join us for an informal chat. You don’t have to have finished, just come if you want to take part in the conversation, we love e-meeting you.

We ask for a donation to join the bookclub. It can be as little as 50p and it helps us do more of what we love with And The Future. We appreciate any amount.

If it’s your first time and you’d just like to check it out email us at [email protected].

Brownie points for not buying the book from a ubiquitous online marketplace that shares its name with a Brazilian jungle. Maybe second hand or support your local bookshop – it’s made easy through here.

You can have a look at the books we’ve read since we started our bookclub.
