This Stanford Doerr School news article (Corey Binns, Jan 22, 2025) summarizes Stanford-led research showing a rising global movement of “counter climate change” organizations—think tanks, trade associations, research institutes and foundations—that tend to proliferate after pro-environmental policies are institutionalized and now span many more countries; its findings that opposition often reframes climate action as cultural or identity threats and can amplify policy and reputational risk are included because they directly inform the book’s Call to Action: Our World & Our Future (Part 1: The Purposeful Investor), highlighting how organized civic and philanthropic actors shape climate policy outcomes and thereby influence future investment risks, opportunities, and strategies for purposeful giving and engagement.
