The Necessity of Divestment of Carbon-Based Assets

Mark Vassaina: I represent the Nebraska Peace Foundation. We're here to present our proposal asking Berkshire Hathaway to divest of its carbon-based assets over a period of 12 years. Last year, we were here with a proposal that Berkshire Hathaway evaluate and report on the impact of climate change on their insurance companies. After the meeting, we were approached by a number of shareholders who suggested the real question is divestiture. So, we thought about it. We came back to ask for divestiture of thecarbon-based assets.
