Episode notes

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?
