SEC Chairman “Sustainable” Prepared Remarks Before the Asset Management Advisory Committee
The basic idea is truth in advertising. We’ve seen a growing number of funds market themselves as “green,” “sustainable,” “low-carbon,” and so on.
While the estimated size of this sector varies, one estimate says there are at least 800 registered investment companies with more than $3 trillion in ESG assets last year.[1] Suffice it to say there are hundreds of funds and potentially trillions of dollars under management in this space.
What information stands behind those claims that a fund is “green” or “sustainable”?

In an ongoing drive to minimise waste, Wilderness Safaris Rwanda, together with local communities and businesses, has developed novel ways to tackle waste at Magashi in Akagera and Bisate Lodge near Volcanoes National Park. With the dining experience already centred around locally sourced produce, new opportunities have also developed through Wilderness Safaris’ War on Waste impact strategy. “In keeping with the light ecological footprint adopted by all aspects of our operations, we are also always looking for solutions to try and find ways that our waste can be re-used, reduced, recycled and upcycled,” explained Wilderness Safaris Rwanda Operations Manager, Ingrid Baas, “We work together with a company called PIMA – Zero Waste Shop. It is the first physical zero-waste outlet in Rwanda, creating a circular economy through supporting #madeinrwanda and #madeinafrica producers”.

Research, Youth TikTok production as public pedagogy towards liveable climate futures , University of Melbourne
This youth-focused project will undertake both an analysis of youth social media productions (via the digital platform, TikTok), as well as a survey and interviews with youth in both Australia and Europe on their experiences and intentions regarding TikTok as a form of critical public pedagogy on climate change. The project will explore key narratives, anticipated audiences, and other aspects of whether and how youth intend for their TikTok videos to be taken up as forms of public pedagogy and solidarity building in relation to their global climate futures. In doing so, the project considers the increasingly global forms of social organisation shaped through the circulations of collective effect through digital media participation and their effects on orientations to climate change both within and across national borders. The project will engage with digital media and affect theory, critical literacies, and the environmental humanities with implications for qualitative and educational research.
