  • Summary

  • Throughout Climate Week NYC, we heard about the importance of collaborating across silos to find solutions to climate change, the energy transition and nature loss. In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast we hear concrete examples of what that looks like in practice. We speak with two climate scientists about how their organizations are working to communicate across disciplines and build partnerships that can inform areas like policy and urban planning: -Terry Thompson is Chief Science Officer at the S&P Global Climate Center of Excellence -Kevin Reed is Chief Climate Scientist at the New York Climate Exchange and a Professor at Stony Brook University. We also speak to Marina Severinovsky, Head of Sustainability North America at asset manager Schroders, who says the role of policy in enabling solutions was one key Climate Week takeaway. “The biggest thing that's blown me away entirely is the amount of discussion about policy advocacy and engagement of policymakers,” she tells us. And to understand how the private sector is partnering with government, we sit down with Shannon Thomas Carroll, Assistant Vice President of Global Environmental Sustainability at AT&T. Shannon explains how the telecommunications giant teamed up with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory to launch a climate risk and resilience portal for US communities. We conducted these interviews at The Nest Climate Campus, where ESG Insider was an official podcast during Climate Week.
