I just happened to have gone to one of the meetings mentioned in the Globe. There are interesting things that are afoot in terms of economy and climate change. For example, it appears that companies are starting to be looked at in terms of their CO2 emissions as well as the risk they pose to climate as well as the risk of climate on their business. Credit rating companies are monitoring these things and threatened to lower the credit ratings of companies who are exposed to the vagaries of climate change or are not managing well the new assets that are their carbon emission allowances and credits.

Socially responsible pension options are standard at US universities, and tend to perform well.
