Familiarity with molecular diagnostics, companion diagnostics, and personalized medicine is a plus.

Climate & Capital Review is looking for contributors for our soon-to-be launched online news and commentary hub that brings together the best thinking and best practices on doing business in the era of climate change. We will be looking at both climate science and business through the skeptical eyes of journalism and are gathering writers and multimedia content producers interested in contributing to that mission. We are looking for dynamic, self motivated journalists who have a pervasive sense of curiosity and are interested in challenging conventional wisdom.

Maximizing shareholder value—historically the metric by which commercial success is measured—can no longer be thought of in a vacuum as our climate deteriorates on a daily basis. Indeed it is rendered meaningless as a concept if its ultimate application exacerbates the climate crisis.

There is a growing recognition that the business practices that have lifted much of humanity out of poverty, now threaten our survival on this planet.

A new way of thinking is emerging that refuses to wait for governments and politicians to act and instead is engaging the issue directly.

Much like the anti-apartheid movement in the 1980s, grassroots pressure for climate justice is beginning to make an impact on some business leaders who accept climate change is a risk (and opportunity) and are taking public stands to make their industries more sustainable.

We believe this movement is still in its infancy but its momentum will grow extraordinarily in the coming years and it will change the face of business and corporate governance. Unfortunately, many of the corporate practices and much of the rhetoric that is currently used by companies are window dressing and have insufficient impact on the actual crisis at hand. This will have to change.

We do not plan to debate the existence of climate change, any more than we should debate the number of angels on the head of a pin. It is a distraction not worthy of our time.

We subscribe to no orthodoxies other than a concern that climate change threatens life as know it, and that investment of vast amounts of capital has a moral obligation to create truly sustainable business models. This is the intersection we will be covering.

We are not activists - unless you believe the pursuit of truth is activism.

Climate & Capital’s target readership include enlightened, forward thinking C-level executives who are leading businesses and industries that can have enormous impact on the crisis at hand. It is investors, large and small. It is policy makers and regulators seeking multilateral solutions to this global problem. It is entrepreneurs furiously dreaming up ways to make billions on the positive opportunities posed by climate change. It is the academics and students, who along with journalists will explore new and unheard of ways to combat climate destruction.

Hopefully all will find in Climate & Capital writing, reporting, thinking and opinions that understand the pressures and fears they deal with while at the same time presenting the best, most accurate research and information on climate science and its impact on the planet.

And we will we endeavor to inject a little humor from time to time into a very grave problem.

o Insights: Annual publication started in 2018 conveys parents’ priorities and recommendations for child welfare system reform.

o TIPS: Handouts guide parents in navigating the child welfare system to prevent placement or expedite reunification.
