Sustainable Investing = Smart Investing
TIAA continues to pour billions into fossil fuels and deforestation-linked industries, but here’s the truth: climate-resilient investments aren’t just better for the planet—they’re better for your financial future too.

The justices acted Monday on an unusual Republican effort to file suit in the Supreme Court over the Democratic states' use of their own state courts to sue fossil fuel companies for deceiving the public about the risks of their products contributing to climate change. The Supreme Court typically hears only appeals, but the Constitution authorizes it to hear original lawsuits states file against each other. The Republican action was led by Alabama's attorney general and sought to stop lawsuits from California, Connecticut, Minnesota, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
Trump’s withdrawal from the Fund for Responding for Loss and Damage underscores a troubling disregard for global #climatejustice.
The Trump administration has told world financial institutions that the U.S. is pulling out of the landmark international climate Loss and Damage Fund.
