<div><FONT color=#333333 size=2 face=calibri>[At the beginning of December last year] European leaders met in Brussels and, like sophomores cramming before a final, pulled an all-nighter. Their exam was a real-world project: restore investor confidence in the Eurozone. A lot of pressure was put on David Cameron to bring the UK into the new agreement; he was adamant in his refusal. Even without the UK, the measures that the Eurozone nations have announced may restore investor confidence, but one thing is certain: they shouldn’t, because they’ll fail miserably at staving off future financial crisis. <BR><BR>That’s because “restoring investor confidence” and “fixing the broken system” are two very different goals.</FONT></div>

<div><FONT color=#333333 size=2 face=calibri>Capital Institute will be in attendance at the Investor Summit on Climate Risk and Energy Solutions being held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York this Thursday. The event, organized by Ceres, will address the latest innovations in climate and energy financing, where capital needs to be committed for climate adaptation and energy solutions to flourish, and the financial community’s key role in advancing strong, comprehensive climate and energy policies. Capital Institute looks forward to hearing how we can engage with the work of this critical group of finance professionals.
