Similarly to how exploring his reservations about finance teaching led Ivo to write his own textbook, his interest in understanding climate change has led to the book “Global Climate Change: A Pragmatist’s Guide to Moving the Needle”. In Ivo’s own words, “Much of the perspective that you get from either climate activists or fossil fuel shills of which there are quite a lot, is misleading or half true. It turns out that the full truth is much more complicated.” Seeking to share a more objective perspective with the public, he made this book, too, available online for free.
When not doing research, teaching, flying his small private plane, or spending time with his family, Ivo keeps thinking up new ways he can make a difference in the world. One such project has was helping inner city high school students by pairing them with students from a leading university nearby, an initiative that may have changed many lives. More recently, Ivo has been floating the idea of making a TV series about the impact of overly harsh sentencing laws that are, he believes, not only unjust but also not in society’s best interest. “And that’s what it’s for, for me, for my next 20/30 years,” he concludes. “That’s what I want to do. Do things that are fun and interesting and help other people. That’s it. If I can do that, I’ll be very happy. I will die a very happy person.”
P.S. Ivo has asked us to add that he does not consider himself too interesting, and thus was originally a little reluctant to be interviewed – even though he likes the end result.
