Emilie Mazzacurati on Where the Investor Class will Put Its Money on Climate

This week, hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham talk to Emilie Mazzacurati, the Global Head of Moody's Climate Solutions. A pioneer in the climate space, Emilie founded Four Twenty Seven in October 2012 after Hurricane Sandy demonstrated that the lack of planning for climate impacts could bring even the most the powerful financial institutions to their knees. Driven by the conviction that businesses have a critical role to play in building resilience if provided with the right tools and guidance, Emilie saw the need for a company that bridged the gap between scientists, businesses, investors and governments. Now with Moody's, Emilie oversees the climate solutions suite within Moody’s ESG Solutions Group, a new business unit formed earlier this year to serve the growing global demand for ESG and climate analytics. As part of its climate solutions suite, Moody’s ESG Solutions provides risk measurement and evaluation tools to understand, quantify and manage climate risks for physical and transition risk, informing due diligence and risk disclosure in line with the recommendations from the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
