Climate change and Brexit spark letters to FT

Open-access content Friday 1st April 2016 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020

The IFoA submitted two letters to the editor of the Financial Times.

The IFoA submitted two letters to the editor of the Financial Times. The first was in response to Bank of England governor Mark Carney's call for disclosure of climate change risks, and the second in response to an article by the FT's chief economics commentator, Martin Wolf, on the complexity of issues faced by voters on the EU referendum. Both letters were published earlier in the year and can be viewed online.
