There are a few perspectives this book provided to me that are unique, in the sense that it’s written from almost a purely financial POV. When it speaks of risk, often it’s speaking about fiscal risk based on business structures liable to policy adjustments changing their bottom line. And portfolios being upended as a result.
Unfortunately, that makes it a massive bummer. The concept that most investment firms are purely driven from a financial POV, gradually steering the world off a cliff, is jarring and disheartening. I mention it because several times in the book it mentions carbon offset measures that are going to be “revolutionary” like SAF, where there isn’t enough SAF on the planet what we consume. Or specific businesses like [redacted for professional reasons], where I’m fairly sure they aren’t built as robustly sustainable as they’ve alluded to here.
It just ripped my heart out by the end. We need less bankers and auditors and abacus pushers trying to pretend they know what’s going on.

Broaden your understanding: challenges and risks
Great framework for thinking through a company's options and exposure to shocks. Authors found a good balance between explaining the complexities and not losing the reader in technical detail.
