Climate Corporate Governance for Financial Institutions - Building resilience to climate change risk
During the past decade, with extreme weather causing hundreds of USD billions of
losses per year and the changing climate intensifying the adverse effects of wasteful
practices, environmental considerations have overtaken economic concerns as the
main sources of global risk, according to the World Economic Forum.
Financial regulators and the European Union are responding with recommendations
and guidance on the disclosure of climate-related financial risks to help integrate
sustainability into investor portfolio management. Credit rating agencies are
developing new ways to anticipate how climate-related risks could impact businesses
and financial institutions.
But is this enough?
To assess whether the financial sector is adequately equipped, the EBRD is brought
together representatives from financial institutions to share their practical experience
of the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of climate-related risk management.
The event discuseed ways to achieve an effective investor-led climate response
via climate corporate governance, standards-based climate finance, climate risk
management, climate-related capital market products.

Change is a timely portrait of Barack Obama made from 3700 circulated coins. Beyond the visual pun, the work evokes a sense of historical significance. Although the piece is made entirely of coins, it could be considered a portrait made from portraits. Each coin is carefully arranged with the presidential portrait facing out. This subtle detial suggests that Obama is made from the same qualities as Lincoln, Jefferson, Washington, and Roosevelt. Like Obama's grassroots fundraising campaign, sculptor Andy Magee collected all of the coins for this sculpture from friends and colleagues - who generously emptied their pockets and coin jars for the artwork.
An image of Change was featured in TIME Magazine's Person of the Year issue, in December 2008, and in COINage Magazine in March 2009.
There has been lots of change underway in Bradford in recent years, most of it slow progress due to the economic downturn.

Changed out the tube photo for this cute anime manga of "Mo hitori no Marionette". Can't hold too much but still a cool retro TV!
…change your luck.
And not for the better.
The "ARRRRGGGGGGOOSSSSSS!!!" suck this year.
So I thought I would show a picture of better times (2001)… although, not much better.
Yup, the Argos won THREE Grey Cups with the “Jason” logo (the bold Argonaut shielded warrior) pictured above, but this year they decided to change up.
Bad idea.
THERE IS just too much history, and success, with ole’ Jason. Everyone who matters, still remembers those Flutie years!
8-7 is a long way from 15-3.
Strangely enough, the 2007 logo looks an awful lot like the Argos logo that the now head coach "Pinball" Clemons donned on his uniform, as a running back, way back when he first started with the Argos back in 1989.
That’s Jimmy Kemp running the play as QB, fillin’ in for an injured Kerwin Bell in 2001. The Argos just didn’t offer Kemp enough money to start, in 2002, so he didn’t return.
That said… we’re sure Jimmy is doin’ alright, even though he "passed" on the QB oppertunity of 2002. Jimmy's dad is none-other-than JACK KEMP, who was the Republican Party's vice presidential nominee in 1996, on the Bob Dole ticket. Jack Kemp was the one who wrote that now famous memo to Ronald Reagan, back in 1980, outlining an economic plan that became the foundation for REAGANOMICS.
Before politics, Jack was also a QB (like father, like son) for the Buffalo Bills from 1963 – 1969 and was finally inducted into the Buffalo Bills Wall of Fame in 1984.
Though the internet is silent… I expect Jimmy is still being mentored by his dad… and if the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree… he'll enter politics at some point.

Changing colour. Panorama of the beach and scenery. Looks amazing. i made it bright, not sure why, it looked alright. Grass looks green and it makes the picture look more outstanding. Sunny day which allowed this photo to look more bright and better. Im trying to achieve a panorama, its not easy to get it perfect or all wobbly. Yes it was successful, it looks very good and shows the whole beach.
Leaves are starting to change colors at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, IL. I wonder why the trees to your right decided to change ahead of the other row.

I was fortunate enough to make a couple of bitter-sweet return trips on the Woodhead Route in its last week of passenger operation in Dec 1969. Breaking my journey each way at Penistone to maximise the experience, I had Tommies for haulage and a 37 (we called them “EE3s” back then) on the Harwich Boat Train. 20 years later in 1989, I took my son to see the remains of the Woodhead at Penistone and stand on the spot beside where I had captured a Tommy on a coal train all those years earlier.
The last time I passed here about 10-15 years ago, large trees and shrubs had overgrown the whole area making a meaningful photo not possible at that time, although Google Maps suggests that the westbound platform may have been cleared of vegetation.
Penistone still provides for the Huddersfield to Sheffield (Midland} service today.

"On 1st August 1962, I was a passenger in the second coach of this train, when suddenly there was a change from running on rails to running on the platform.
Fortunately, there were no serious injuries, and after "all change" on to buses, I was able to complete my trip - to Eastleigh Railway Works Open Day."
JALALABAD, 15 October 2016 - A boy looks on as a money changer goes about his business from a small shop in Talashi square, eastern Jalalabad city.
Money changers are a common sight in Afghanistan, sometimes standing on the roadside with fistfuls of cash, waiting for their next customer.
