In order to become resilient to the financial risks of climate change, companies need to develop effective climate management. This requires clear, comparable, and robust climate data. But how does access to better data help companies enhance their climate management efforts?
In this episode, Host Laura Zizzo talks about the evolution of climate data and how this has enhanced companies’ climate resilience. To set the stage, Laura chats with Manifest Climate’s Product Content Director, Louie Woodall, who breaks down some of the top stories that Manifest Climate is following. Louie talks about the release of the International Sustainability Standards Board’s (ISSB) climate and sustainability rules and how recent data shows that climate targets aren’t strict enough to limit global warming to 1.5°C. He also discusses efforts to construct new short-term climate scenarios by the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) and an international standard that’s being created to monitor avoided (Scope 4) emissions.
Later in the episode, Laura speaks with special guest Joseph Lake, the Head of Strategic Initiatives at S&P Global’s Sustainable1. The two chat about how climate data has evolved, how it can help companies manage climate risk and move toward resilience, and what the emergence of AI means for climate data.
Climate Compass is a production by Manifest Climate, the leading Climate Risk Planning software.
