In partnership with the Climate Group and FINTECH.TV, The Nest Summit is an official event of Climate Week NYC, dedicated to advancing sustainability in the US by convening the organizations, visionary researchers, and influential policymakers driving climate action and leading the way to a cleaner and safer environment.The goal of the Climate Service is to help investors, companies, and communities to understand their risks from the changing climate, and the opportunities from the transition to a low-carbon economy. Backed by an Advisory Board including 4 IPCC Nobel Prize-winning scientists, and strategic partners including Aon, IBM, the AICPA, and LMI Consulting, our mission is to embed climate risk data into financial decision-making and facilitate the world’s transition to a lower-carbon economy. The Climate Service Climanomics® software platform enables climate risk reporting and disclosure consistent with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework. Outputs from the platform measure and report transition and physical risk and opportunities in financial terms under different climate scenarios. Trusted by clients including the world’s largest banks, asset managers, real estate investors, Fortune 500 firms, and public bodies including the Federal Government, the platform was recently identified as a leader in climate risk analytics by Forrester Research. Investors and regulators around the world have been refining guidance on climate risk and moving closer, in a variety of ways, to making climate risk and TCFD reporting mandatory. The UK just announced its largest pension funds must publish disclosures by the end of 2022. UK banks and insurers are required to do so by the end of 2021. The Canadian government recently tied COVID recovery loans to climate risk reporting, and more. Financial institutions worldwide are employing the Climanomics® platform to support scenario analysis, model physical and transition risks as well as opportunities. During this session, Joseph Lake will touch on key best practices for climate risk analysis in financial services. This address will be given by Joseph Lake, COO of The Climate Service.
Municipal Bond Data and Climate Risk
In partnership with the Climate Group and FINTECH.TV, The Nest Summit is an official event of Climate Week NYC, dedicated to advancing sustainability in the US by convening the organizations, visionary researchers, and influential policymakers driving climate action and leading the way to a cleaner and safer environment.Municipal bond issuers are where the rubber meets the road on climate risk in the US. At the same tie as they must fund and execute climate adaptation and resilience projects for their jurisdictions and customers, the property value, infrastructure, and populations that underpin their financial health represent exposures to climate risk that will only grow with climate change. With data specific to all bond issuers and obligors now available to assess the need for investment and the risks of not doing so, thought leaders in fixed income are now deploying and integrating this data into strategies, workflows, and decisions. The panelists; Andrew Teras and Chris Hartshorn couple the perspectives of risQ, the emerging municipal climate risk data, and analytics provider, with Breckinridge, an established leader in thematic ESG fixed income investing, and how the municipal bond ecosystem can maximize its value and impact on maximizing climate hygiene.
Inequality, Housing and Climate Change
In partnership with the Climate Group and FINTECH.TV, The Nest Summit is an official event of Climate Week NYC, dedicated to advancing sustainability in the US by convening the organizations, visionary researchers, and influential policymakers driving climate action and leading the way to a cleaner and safer environment.Climate change exacerbates inequalities for low-income families in developing countries and in industrialized, wealthy ones as the Mother transcends all borders, languages, religions, and regional environmental issues. The underprivileged are of particular importance when planning, experts say, due to the nature of how countries, economies, and communities develop, integrate, and evolve with complementary aspects of humanity. One way to reduce the immediate and long-term impact of a disaster on low-income renters is to ensure that the rental properties they live in (affordable housing) can remain functional throughout the disaster and bounce back to normal operations quickly afterward. Lisa Davis from PGIM Real Estate discusses with Jeffery Gitterman at the Nest Summit.
Climate Risk and the Capital Markets
In partnership with the Climate Group and FINTECH.TV, The Nest Summit is an official event of Climate Week NYC, dedicated to advancing sustainability in the US by convening the organizations, visionary researchers, and influential policymakers driving climate action and leading the way to a cleaner and safer environment.Climate change creates risks and opportunities for the private sector in emerging markets and may impact financial institutions’ performance and the companies they invest in. During the last 10,000 years, our climate has been very stable, and now is becoming unstable. Financial models that we are using models that are missing variables as they were designed without considering the non-linear changes. Spencer Glendon helps us better understand the fundamental risk that capital markets have with the inability to consider climate changes.
Investing at the Intersection of Climate and Social Justice

The COVID crisis has brought forward many inconvenient truths that society at large chose to ignore pre-COVID. We can no longer talk about sustainability, climate change, and resilience, without talking about social justice. Just like COVID, Climate Change impacts minority and indigenous communities disproportionately. But this isn’t only about unacceptable inequality, it’s about opportunity cost. Our society has lost out on a tremendous amount of innovation and productivity by denying social justice to a significant portion of our population. But Climate change is an “all hands on deck” crisis that requires the full contribution from every member of society. It is clear that we cannot face off against the Climate Crisis without addressing the Social Justice crisis, which is why we have to consider mispriced Social Justice risk as well as Climate Change risk in every investment we evaluate.
Innovations and Advancements in Climate-Related Scoring Products, Market Infrastructure, and Portfolio-Level Integration Techniques
In partnership with the Climate Group and FINTECH.TV, The Nest Summit is an official event of Climate Week NYC, dedicated to advancing sustainability in the US by convening the organizations, visionary researchers, and influential policymakers driving climate action and leading the way to a cleaner and safer environment.The innovations and advancements in climate change scoring for products, portfolios, and macro analysis for the New World are essential as we combat humanity’s forces that have put our world’s future at grave risk. The European Commission and its various constituents are putting clarity on environmental products throughout the European Union – specifying at least 50 different parameters that investors will have to report on this taxonomy for their investment portfolio. This climate change adaptation then drives the future passive and active product creation. Jeff Gitterman and Todd Arthur Bridges discuss integration methodologies in this discussion for the Nest Summit on Climate Change with the United Nations.
Advancing Sustainability in Events

While these incredible events are occurring, Ouriel is celebrating 2 years for their mobile application ZenGo.
His mobile application allows for anyone of any age of any religion anywhere in the world to get into the game with cryptocurrency. Anyone can go try it and see for themselves by clicking here for Android.Bitcoin has been the fastest-growing asset in the history of capitalism ever. Especially given the weak banking system and old-world Antiquated Technologies, the transition is clear to those that have been building the infrastructure.
Ouriel and Rachel had a fantastic discussion on this exclusive interview on FINTECH.TV and we hope you will enjoy it just as much, learning more about the growing nature of cryptocurrency, especially among the younger generations.

Climate Change & Shareholder Engagement with Bruce Duguid and Mark Sherlock
In partnership with the Climate Group and FINTECH.TV, The Nest Summit is an official event of Climate Week NYC, dedicated to advancing sustainability in the US by convening the organizations, visionary researchers, and influential policymakers driving climate action and leading the way to a cleaner and safer environment.Nearly all companies have exposure to climate change; we must commit to zero the carbon emission at the highest level. Shareholder engagement had never been more crucial on climate change that now, taking ownership of the decision-making of climate change adaption will improve long-term sustainability and stakeholder buy-in of climate change adaption interventions. Bruce Duguid and Mark Sherlock explain the importance of investment and engagement rather than divesting, how significant climate change is for stewardship, and some notable companies are working towards zero carbon emission.

Natural Wine: Back to the Basics
TheIMPACT focuses on ESG, Impact Investing, and advancing the 17 United Nations-supported Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The show profiles people and companies committed to changing lives and creating a sustainable world.Read Time: 95 secondsOn this segment of FINTECH.TV’s TheIMPACT, our host from New York City in the United States of America, Vincent Molinari, is joined by the global leaders in the sustainable wine movement in our decentralized format to discuss the latest trends from Italy and throughout Europe.
Sheila, Antonella, and Isabelle join our host, Vince, literally from their vineyards and get down yes to the grape of what is truly going on in the sustainable wine movement by those that are absolutely the most passionate, as you will see in this beautiful interview.Sheila has the fantastic job of discovering wineries and olive oil producers, having Founding Vero almost two years ago, along with a professional background in the FinTech industries. She was interested in blockchain that led her to start Vero to curate and locate difficult to find wines and olive oils from small, sustainable producers worldwide.
“The Devine of the Plant Kingdom”
Isabelle is truly a global leader in the natural wine movement. Natural wine comes from grapes grown organically, then fermented into wine without adding ANYTHING, along without removing anything. It’s 100% grape juice with a kick as it was designed thousands of years ago—the authenticity of wine at its core. The way the land is farmed is everything. That is what it means to be sustainable.
Antonella comes to us LIVE from, Fattoria La Malisoa, her vineyard in Tuscany in La Malisoa – sharing the absolute beauty of what it means to “living the dream” in wine. After graduating and working in Tuscany’s resort, the environment was overwhelming in all the right ways capturing her there for longer than expected. Antonella then pursued her dream, aligning with her agriculture values with her vineyard in Tuscany, Italy, even though she doesn’t have a heritage in the wine industry.
These three leaders in wine had a great time on this exclusive interview on FINTECH.TV, and we hope you will enjoy it just as much, learning how sustainable, natural wine should be part of your private selection.
