Strategic CSR - Weather

 
This is the last CSR Newsletter of the Fall semester.
Happy Holidays and I will see you in the New Year!
 

For this last newsletter of the semester, I thought it worth discussing something that Brits are well known for complaining about – the weather. Historically, complaining about the weather has been futile, since it was thought to be beyond our control. That is, of course, before we invented climate change. Not only can we now influence the weather (if not completely control it), as this chart from the article in the url below reports, we are doing so at great cost to ourselves. Specifically, the chart captures the amount of insurance payouts due to bad weather that have occurred annually, since 1990. Anyone see a pattern?
 

Happy COP 28, everyone. See you in 2024.
Take care
David
