Climate Week countdown: How the climate landscape is evolving

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast from S&P Global Sustainable1, we preview what to expect during Climate Week NYC, which begins Sept. 19. Climate Week has run annually since 2009, convening leaders from business, government and the climate community through hundreds of events held across New York City. The goal is to drive climate action, and this year the tagline is "Getting it Done."

To learn more about what to expect from the week, we turn to Dr. Terry Thompson. Terry is Chief Science Officer at The Climate Service, an S&P Global company. In the interview, he explains in plain English how climate science is evolving. He also talks about the "sea change" in public perception of climate risks.

"This is not a future event when we talk about climate change. It is essentially a current emergency," Terry says. "We're reaching the cusp of very much more strenuous and concentrated efforts to address climate change."
