TORONTO -- Bank of England governor Mark Carney has been named the United Nations special envoy on climate action and finance, a role that will focus on mobilizing the finance sector to take climate action.

Described by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres as "a remarkable pioneer in pushing the financial sector to work on climate,” Carney will take on the role in January 2020 when his term as governor ends.

Carney, a Canadian, also served as Bank of Canada governor from 2008 to 2013.

UN chief says world about to hit 'point of no return' on climate change
Speaking before the start of a two-week international climate conference in Madrid, the UN chief said the impact of rising temperature and extreme weather is already being felt around the world, with dramatic consequences for humans and other species.

In his speech, Guterres called for ambitious national commitments from the main emitters to start reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

“We must also make progress on the social dimensions of climate change and ensure that national commitments include a just transition for people whose jobs and livelihoods are affected as we move from the grey to the green economy,” he said.

As part of his new role, Carney will focus on mobilizing private finance to the levels needed to achieve goals of the Paris Agreement, including “building the framework for financial reporting, risk management and returns to bring the impacts of climate change to the mainstream of private financial decision making and to support the transition to a net zero carbon economy.”

In a statement issued by the Bank of England Sunday, Carney said he is honoured to take on the role ahead of the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP) meeting in Glasgow in November 2020.

“This provides a platform to bring the risks from climate change and the opportunities from the transition to a net zero economy into the heart of financial decision-making,” Carney said in a statement.

“To do so, the disclosures of climate risk must become comprehensive, climate risk management must be transformed, and investing for a net-zero world must go mainstream.”

Carney helped organize the global response to the financial crisis as part of the G8 and G20. He has also been credited with helping Canada avoid the brunt of the financial crisis.

Carney is a BIG part of the globalist Cabal. The UN global climate hoax is the biggest theft of wealth scheme ever devised by man. $$$Trillions have been taken and ‘redistributed’ yet not one damn thing about the environment or climate has changed. The idea that massive taxation is some kind of thermostat is insane. But like all good cons, it started as a good, reasonable thing to do back in the 80’s when mountains of disposable diapers and plastics were publicized. So we in the west got into recycling, we limited our number of children to two (replacement) and then came air pollution, from fossil fuels of course. 40 years on here we are with globalist politicians taxing the air we breathe and forcing mass migration onto us because we don’t have enough children to fill market employment needs. Talk about a slow moving, incremental con game, played by traitors in government flying around everywhere, enriching their own elite ‘foundations’ and lecturing us on their virtuous ideology. Utter BULLSH*T!!

All that political nonsense and not once did they say how they intend to force China, India and Africa to stop polluting. Raise Canadian's taxes again?

So now they will not finance anything that does not support "Global Climate Energency" hoax!

The only plus to this is that he is. añadían. I believe that the Human Rights council is pretty much all middle Eastern. Now that’s a joke?!?!

@Aaharwood The country of origin is irrelevant in this war. The person is either a globalist traitor or a patriot.

I’m furious that Mark Carney has joined the UN to be a special counsel for climate. Even the most educated and intelligent humans appear to have been duped by Climate BS.

I don’t think he’s been “duped” at all. He knows full well what’s going on, what the REAL agenda of the banksters is. Carney is ONE OF THEM.
