S&P Global has established a Climate Centre of Excellence, bringing together scientists and strategists to help guide the data and ratings company’s environment and nature research and methodologies.
The centre will harness the company’s market and ESG datasets to generate sustainability-linked information that can be used by clients of the company’s S&P Global Market Intelligence, S&P Global Ratings, S&P Global Commodity Insights, S&P Global Mobility and S&P Dow Jones Indices businesses.
“To push the frontiers in climate research, S&P Global scientists are diving into some of the most complex data and modelling challenges in the physical and economic sciences,” said the centre’s chief science officer Terence Thompson. “We are bridging multi-disciplinary gaps and perspectives to enable advancements in our science-driven methodologies providing actionable information on climate-related risks and opportunities.”
Among the themes the centre aims to tackle are physical and climate hazards, probabilistic risk modelling and supply-chain exposure.
