The Paris Agreement was hailed as a landmark in global climate negotiations, but the implementation over the past six years has not delivered in line with expectations. The area in greatest need of attention is adaptation finance. There are relatively simple solutions that would help leverage the momentum for net zero and create broader resilience in the economy.

A pioneer in the climate space, Emilie founded Four Twenty Seven in October 2012 after Hurricane Sandy demonstrated that the lack of planning for climate impacts could bring even the most the powerful financial institutions to their knees. Driven by the conviction that businesses have a critical role to play in building resilience if provided with the right tools and guidance, Emilie saw the need for a company that bridged the gap between scientists, businesses, investors and governments. Now with Moody's, Emilie oversees the climate solutions suite within Moody’s ESG Solutions Group, a new business unit formed earlier this year to serve the growing global demand for ESG and climate analytics. As part of its climate solutions suite, Moody’s ESG Solutions provides risk measurement and evaluation tools to understand, quantify and manage climate risks for physical and transition risk, informing due diligence and risk disclosure in line with the recommendations from the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

In this instalment of the Climate Risk Podcast we address a few different topics all tied together by the central theme of climate data.
Translating the output of climate energy and economic models into decision useful climate analytics is fraught with challenges. It requires the bridging of informational gaps but also the bridging of disciplines and communities. It also means navigating the uncertainty that comes with modelling something as complex as our global climate system.

Progress is being made in this domain though and whilst best practice is yet to be established we are starting to get a sense of what good looks like.

This episode covers:
- Being intentional about climate analytics - What data do you need and why do you need it?
- Navigating the uncertainty inherent in modelling complex systems
- What does good look like? Show less

While the costs of transition risk are fairly well understood, the costs of physical risk are grossly underestimated due to data limitations, raising the specter of potentially flawed decision making. The discrepancy comes from a lack of historical data on economic and financial weather-related losses, as well as the limitations of climate models in predicting non-linear changes, and the difficulty of modeling second and third order impacts on human and ecological systems. Addressing these… Show more

While the costs of transition risk are fairly well understood, the costs of physical risk are grossly underestimated due to data limitations, raising the specter of potentially flawed decision making. The discrepancy comes from a lack of historical data on economic and financial weather-related losses, as well as the limitations of climate models in predicting non-linear changes, and the difficulty of modeling second and third order impacts on human and ecological systems. Addressing these fundamental data and modeling limitations is a critical to incorporating the true costs of climate change in financial and economic decisions. Show less
