Dear Advisors and Colleagues,

Our current whirlwind of activity attests to the green economy becoming
mainstream, along with ESG and triple bottom line investing!  I am one of
the global vice-chairs of the Climate Prosperity
Alliance<http://www.ethicalmarkets.com/category/climate-prosperity-funds/>,
along with C. S. Kiang (China) and Lawrence Bloom (UK).  Founded by Dr. Marc
Weiss, CEO of Global Urban, this Alliance is a global network of financiers,
businesses, economists, development authorities, NGOs and scientists
promoting $10 trillion in investment in climate prosperity over the next ten
years -- much less than the over $14 trillion of financial bailouts and less
than 10% of the $120 trillion of global pension funds' assets. (More
at www.globalurban.org
Climate Prosperity <http://www.globalurban.org%20Climate%20Prosperity>.)

I am also a member of the Advisory Board of the Barcelona Consensus, an
innovative worldwide, online dialogue between culturally-diverse writers,
thinkers and activists on alternatives to today's dysfunctional global
economy (www.nova.cat ).

Our wonderful researchers Rachel Tubman and Timothy Nash, both with graduate
degrees in sustainability metrics and members of the Ethical
MarketsSustainability
Research Group <http://www.ethicalmarkets.com/category/emsrg/>, are
developing a Global Climate Prosperity Scoreboard® to serve the Climate
Prosperity Alliance.  The Scoreboard collates our daily Ethical Markets
reporting (see Climate Prosperity Funds, Green Tech, Energy
Efficiency<http://www.ethicalmarkets.com/>)
to provide at-a-glance metrics on the growth of private investments in
solar, wind, geothermal, renewables and energy efficiency so as to track the
accelerating growth of the green economy worldwide.

The Beyond GDP issue is now front page news!  I commented on Joe Stiglitz
and Amartya Sen's report to French President Sarkozy in an interview by
InterPress Service<http://www.ethicalmarkets.com/qa-stiglitz-sen-moving-in-the-right-direction-but-slowly/>
.
