Listen: Cundall's Simon Wyatt on climate risk and finance

摘要

Financial institutions are increasingly driving the net zero agenda, and we kick off this jargon buster session talking about an organisation set up by Mark Carney, the former governor of the Bank of England. It’s called the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) and it is backed by most banks, which increasingly are requiring businesses and projects to come up with robust climate risk and mitigation strategies. Cundall’s Simon Wyatt argues that we design buildings and set up supply chains based on historic climate data, which does not take into account of the extreme weather events that will result from 2 C or more of climate change.
