When John Mandyck met with Brazil’s largest pension fund a few years ago, he wanted to understand the thinking behind its radical declaration that it would only invest in certified green buildings.

They were trying to future-proof their portfolio.”

HOWARD WOLFSON: Maya Wiley, welcome. I thought we d start at the beginning. Tell us a little bit about your background and why you re running for mayor.
MAYA WILEY: I am a Black woman raised by parents who were active in the civil-rights movement. My father was at the forefront of the economic justice movement â fighting for and with Black women who were on welfare for dignity and for enough support to feed their families, shelter their kids. Having grown up in a Black neighborhood, gone to a segregated Black public school that was overcrowded and underfunded, watched my neighbors be displaced when rents went up and they couldn t afford to pay them â all this shaped my career.
