I believe that the pandemic has presented such an existential


crisis – such a stark reminder of our fragility – that it has driven us
to confront the global threat of climate change more forcefully
and to consider how, like the pandemic, it will alter our lives. It has
reminded us how the biggest crises, whether medical or
environmental, demand a global and ambitious response.

Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO
