Between 30-40% of food produced annually in the United States is wasted. Meanwhile, 49 million Americans live in food insecure households. The Daily Table, a new nonprofit opening in Dorchester, Massachusetts this spring, aims to turn these two wrongs into a right. Founder and former Trader Joe’s president Doug Rauch will share his experiences from the early days of starting a mission-driven business.

Tuesday, 2/25: “The Price of Climate Risk
Speaker: Robert Litterman, Chairman of the Risk Committee, Kepos Capital & Retired from Risk Management Career at Goldman Sachs
A collaborative global decision on carbon dioxide emissions pricing must be made soon or the risk of a catastrophic incident linked to the warming of the earth will rise, warns Robert Litterman. He will appeal to a free market philosophy that recognizes increasing risk should come with a price, and suggest that key stakeholders must recognize the inherent risk in emissions, determine the cost of that risk to society, and price that risk accordingly.

Speaker: Kim Jordan, Co-Founder and CEO, New Belgium Brewing
New Belgium Brewing has received numerous awards not only for its craft beers, but also for being a top place to work in America and a leader in green business practices.
