Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Unlocking Transition Finance: Policy, Credibility and the Flow of Capital
Q: Tell me a bit about your background and how you came to lead the Transition Finance Market Review.
I started as a lawyer in sustainability, worked with the Transition Plan Task Force on the disclosure framework, co-chaired sector guidance for oil and gas, and was invited to lead the Transition Finance Market Review due to my neutral, real-economy expertise and availability to contribute pro bono.
Fire and Flood: Lessons from Britain's New World of Extremes
Q: What stood out to you about the role of insurance, supply chains, and investments for finance people?
Risk professionals should translate technical findings into human-level impacts and focus on how supply chains and insurance frameworks respond to new extremes, including cost pressures and the availability of resilience technologies.
The Serious Business of Climate Comedy: How to Engage New Audiences
Q: What is the core idea behind using comedy to discuss climate risk?
Comedy serves as a gateway to engage people who might not otherwise interact with climate topics, combining humor with facts to reduce cognitive resistance and encourage ongoing engagement.
The Case for Adaptation: Heat Stress and the Built Environment
Q: What does success look like in five to ten years for integrating landscape-scale nature-based solutions into risk management?
Success means landscape-scale, nature-enhancing interventions that reduce climate risk while aligning financing, governance, and local plans; better collaboration among local authorities, housing providers, and financiers will move climate adaptation from concept to widespread, practical implementation.
The Case for Adaptation: Heat Stress and the Built Environment
Q: Why were housing associations a key starting point for your work, and how is the data used there?
Housing associations manage large portfolios of social housing; insurers highlighted gaps in heat risk that standard European models missed, so Map Impact provided heat-stress susceptibility scoring across portfolios to guide retrofit and resilience investments, tying data to practical actions.
