Episode notes

John Kerry said that the impacts of climate change will be much worse if we don't reduce emissions. John sat down with Matt Ellis, founder and CEO of Measureable to talk about how commercial real estate sector has evolved its thinking on climate risks in recent years. S&P Global is a provider of some of the physical risk data that Measureable integrates into its product.

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we bring you Part 2 of our on-the-ground coverage from Climate Week NYC. Throughout the week, we heard experts talk about the delicate balancing act required to achieve net zero and energy transition goals while also accounting for the impacts on nature and society.

We talk to the CEO of nonprofit Just Capital, Martin Whittaker, who explains why environmental and social issues cannot be considered in isolation. We hear from Dr. Jane Carter Ingram, Executive Director of the climate change investment and advisory firm Pollination Group. And we talk to Matt Ellis, CEO of Measurabl, a company that tracks the physical and transition risks of climate change for the commercial real estate sector. (S&P Global has invested in the company.)
