Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England, has made a true leaders speech this week. He was addressing one of several key trends we all face, in this case climate change (with the resulting need to decarbonise). He wasn’t suggesting kicking such a defining generational issue down the road.
"The far-sighted amongst you are anticipating broader global impacts on property, migration and political stability, as well as food and water security."
But he said because the cost would fall on future generations there was little impetus on the current one to fix it: "In other words, once climate change becomes a defining issue for financial stability, it may already be too late."
