Oceans and climate risk are the major puzzle pieces as oceans make up 70% of mother earth. From energy to carbon to global trade, our planet's waters are the most important thing we need to protect, cherish, and ensure are recalibrated during these times to combat climate change.
Accelerating The Greening Of The Grid With Private Sector Innovation

The governor covers how they are changing the game using a long-term lens approach to reach scale for renewable energy – one of the many ways discussed in this critical segment. Anything we can do to accelerate the proliferation of clean, renewable, economically affordable energy in the United States is to our benefit. The technology is there.
Addressing Commercial Trends In Renewables And Decarbonization
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.While the commercial renewables industry was born inside the public policy and utility frameworks, the evolution of the industry in the past 3 years has widened considerably. We explore some of the major shifts driving demand for large-scale renewable development, the key enabling commercial points that enable wider scale adoption, and the importance of market design for participants. Key focus areas for conversation include Decarbonising supply chains, needed to promote a growing adoption of net-zero carbon corporate goals by leading multinationalsTransitioning to EV’s: a new 30-year cycle of electricity demand growth, driven by low-carbon resources Green Hydrogen and e-fuels: renewables are the key enabling component of building zero net-carbon liquid fuels for heavy industry and transportation utilities in transition: faster adoption of renewables as a driver of customer satisfaction and shareholder returns.
Measuring Climate Investment Impact: Finding the Sharpest Tool in the ESG Shed
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 will be a defining driver of the global economy, society, and financial markets over the coming years, decades, and beyond. Whether the global economy is rebuilt on less carbon-intensive foundations or the temperature continues to escalate, investors will be unable to avoid its impacts. An issue as complex as climate change, the effects of which are likely to spread across industries and markets, can’t be distilled into a single figure but rather that a rounded view is vital. Modeling the risks of climate change is not straightforward and most of the tools our industry uses are inadequate and, in some cases, misleading. Measures such as carbon footprints, fossil fuel exposure, or green revenue shares are relatively straightforward and easily accessible but are too simplistic to analyze the complexities of climate change effectively.
Investing in Water and Climate Risk

The Nest Summit covers all the essentials, such as how water is the primary resource for the 4th Industrial Revolution, similar to oil in the previous era of booming economic realization globally.
Deeper Data on Institutional ESG Strategies
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.Pensions, endowments, foundations, family offices, wealth managers, and other institutional investors have long been interested in managers that factor ESG into their process, but it’s historically been hard to evaluate those managers on a peer basis. These investors have struggled to collect ESG data, then aggregate and standardize it for apples-to-apples comparisons. At the same time, managers with ESG strategies have been challenged to keep up with these data requests. eVestment’s next-generation ESG questionnaire solves both sides of the equation by making it easy for ESG managers to highlight what makes their approach unique and providing a single point of access to data from thousands of managers in one platform for investors and consultants. In this interview, eVestment’s Erika Spence will describe how the questionnaire gets behind greenwashing by delving into how each ESG strategy actually implements its philosophy, the inputs used by the portfolio team, and the extent to which the firm itself incorporates ESG into its corporate management.

Rating Physical Assets in the Face of 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.Investors lack the tools to anticipate, quantify, respond to extreme weather events, the on-coming impacts to their equity portfolios, and how best to calibrate for force majeure scenarios. Dozens of sophisticated climate models run by the world's leading academic institutions forecast changes in the earth's systems. Still, their outputs are extraordinarily complex and require specialized programming skills and computers to access and process. Chris J. Goolgasian, Yoon Kim, and Swami Venkataraman give us a better understanding of how these risks work, what we need to know, and the longer-term slower onset is occurring.
