Climate change + pandemic means new math for investors - Marketplace
The coronavirus crisis is, of course, all-consuming right now, but for those who spend their careers working on climate change it is both a preview of what responding to extreme climate change might look like — a worrying distraction from a global problem that’s still happening — and, potentially, a path to some changed habits that could actually help us fight warming in the long run.
I spoke with Jay Koh, managing director of the private equity firm Lightsmith Group, which invests in climate tech. He said investment is down, but that’s not the only concern. The following is an edited version of our conversation.

British textiles get an unexpected boost from COVID-19 - Marketplace
The coronavirus outbreak is a human tragedy and an economic disaster, but some businesses could in the long term do quite well out of it. Take Britain's textile industry. Throughout the 1990s, British textile companies lost a lot of business to China as clothing retailers and brands in the United Kingdom turned en masse to the Far East for cheaper production.
