Over the course of his three years as comptroller of New York City, Brad Lander has guided the city’s pension systems in achieving their climate targets, divesting from fossil fuel companies and seeing significant success with shareholder resolutions on a range of topics.

Lander, whose term will end in January, joins The Responsible Investor Podcast to discuss his proudest achievements in office, the future of shareholder proposals and whether he thinks responsible investment can survive Donald Trump’s second term.

After declining to run for re-election in order to make a bid for the mayor’s office, Lander also discusses what advice he would give to his successor and what he still wants to get done during his remaining time in office.
