"Investors and firms alike grappling with what counts as “green finance”—and with funds that are no longer seen as green enough" @SatAppsCatapult how can #satellite data and applications bring better visibility and more #transparency? https://t.co/NyeZCx3xYY

Sustainable finance is vast and complex, at the Catapult we are exploring the opportunities for geospatial data and solutions within this sector. For more information on sustainable finance reporting read our latest blog: https://t.co/gHNr8Uj5tD

Shares of sustainable-energy companies are soaring. #Oil, #gas and #coal? Not so much https://t.co/csI84NtDe8 via @BloombergNRG #EnergyTransition

Power plants, oil and gas and copper smelter facilities' SO2 pollution visible from #space, posing risks to human health and the environment. How can we use this data to inform investors on environmental and social #risk and drive positive change? @SatAppsCatapult #LPS19

[ChristopheChristiaen @Christophe9992]

Interesting read by @427climaterisk on the status of physical climate change risk reporting in France where large asset owners are obliged to disclose #climaterisk. 'Lack of tools and models' still an issue for reporting physical risks. @SatAppsCatapult https://t.co/p2LfNXFX4A

@GreenAllianceUK asking what role land use can play in climate change mitigation. But what role can #satellite data play to support ambitious policies and the allocation of sufficient #sustainablefinance to climate change mitigation solutions in #landuse? @SatAppsCatapult

[Green Alliance @GreenAllianceUK]

The message has been clear in the news: climate action needs to happen now and across the board.

Our new report outlines the policy framework needed to achieve #netzero carbon from land use by 2040. See this thread for the highlights

Bloomberg is looking at the #Space sector to provide investors and regulators with the evidence to force companies to reduce #GHG #emissions. A lot of international government initiatives but where is the #UK? @SatAppsCatapult https://t.co/mfq24U47uE

Great article on the role that #satellite data can play to inform mining operators, authorities and investors on early signs of tailing dam failure. Could better and earlier understanding of #ESG #risk make investors pressure companies to act in time? @SatAppsCatapult

Deja Vu - Brumadinho and Mariana Dam disasters, two dams part owned by Vale SA and the lesson for traders. Read our latest blog here https://t.co/7C2FQZexrY #valesa #brumadinhodam #marianadam

Interesting read! What role can #satellite data play to support banks "actively monitor, and engage, the companies that they are financing to ensure that they meet sustainability requirements and are making progress towards achieving their own commitments." @SatAppsCatapult

[Forest 500 @Forest500]

New on the blog, Banks need to raise their game in the battle against #deforestation - with new analysis on financial institutions investment choices

Our Sustainable Finance Programme bridges the gap between the sustainable finance and space sectors. Our introductory document for the space industry provides a starting point in understanding the role of data and information in decision making processes: https://t.co/YYoP4IDbOL

Transitioning to a sustainable global economy will be the most capital-intensive transition in history. Geospatial, satellite and climate data can provide key information to evaluate risks, opportunities and impacts of (un)sustainable investment - https://t.co/e02DfScgBN

What is Sustainable Finance, why is it important, and what role can #geospatial #data play to grow its reach? Check out our latest #blog and discover how #satellites are changing our #economic activities - https://t.co/HL9VBsGfRp #SustainableFinance

Sir Roger Gifford on the need for trillions of sustainable investments, the lack of financial products to match that demand and the need for data to narrow this gap. #spatialfinanceinitiative @SatAppsCatapult

[ChristopheChristiaen @Christophe9992]

Interesting discussion @GreenAllianceUK, impacts on our privacy? What is the role of government and regulation? But most importantly how do we ensure the information is acted upon? Many questions for @SatAppsCatapult @planetlabs @unepwcmc

[ChristopheChristiaen @Christophe9992]

Obviously! Looking forward to a great discussion @GreenAllianceUK ! #GAdebate2019
