Managing Director, The Americas @KaiserwetterAm working to enable investors to use #data and #AI to minimize risk and invest in #renewables. #EnergyTwitter

The pandemic has forever changed #sustainablefinance. But these disparate private-sector efforts can only achieve so much. That's where #AI, #IoT & #dataintelligence, with a little regulatory support, come into play. Check out @HSchoklitsch's latest. https://t.co/Q7AHLOLrRu

To both inform #decarbonization efforts and continuously monitor and verify the impacts of an #institutionalinvestor's "green" investments and other #ClimateAction activities. @KaiserwetterAm [3/3] https://t.co/YBhWkEifRw

[Claire Sharp @_ClaireSharp_]

@AkshatRathi makes a good point. Defining, monitoring and disclosing an organization's #decarbonization efforts is difficult, especially in the #financial sector as @kmac explains in her latest. But it doesn't have to be. [1/3] https://t.co/9HDHYorm7x

[Claire Sharp @_ClaireSharp_]

As my @Kaiserwetter_ colleague @HSchoklitsch writes in @ForbesFinanceCl, once the metrics and disclosure frameworks for #climate #risk + opportunity are standardized, the #dataintelligence that cloud-based #AI & #IoT platforms produce can help... [2/3] https://t.co/VHR50O5ePS

I do not support the plan to reopen @DCPublicSchools. The plan disrupts learning for 44,000 students. Please work with teachers and parents to develop a better plan.#DCPSKidsWillSuffer

[Claire Sharp @_ClaireSharp_]

In 1 week @dcmayorsoffice @MurielBowser plans to have 5-10% of DC Public School students return to school while leaving 90-95% online without their teachers and/or a new overcrowded class of up to 40 students. #DCPSKidsWillSuffer

JP Morgan debuts green currency swap, "the first such structure to incorporate promises both sides have made on the environment...interest cost can rise if either side doesn’t make good on plans to become more environmentally friendly."

[ACORE @ACORE]

Yesterday, ACORE formally challenged @USDOL's second attempt this year to slow down #ESG investments. The Labor Department's latest proposal "imposes needless new bureaucracy and substantial additional costs." Read more in @NACleanEnergy: https://t.co/y7jzhtwZkS

[Gregory Wetstone @gregwetstone]

Yet another attempt by @USDOL to slow down #ESG investments. The latest proposal imposes needless new bureaucracy and substantial additional costs, and should be immediately withdrawn. Read our release and the comments we officially filed today here: https://t.co/fscMK3rCj5

We have a number of upcoming webinars aimed at helping people use our new #ScienceBasedTargets framework for the finance sector.

There's encouraging evidence that our lawmakers are getting behind the need to 'green' the #financial sector to address this system-wide risk. Case in point - the establishment and continuous activity of @ClimateCrisis. But there's still a ways to go, notes @CFTCbenham. #RFFlive

[Claire Sharp @_ClaireSharp_]

This is sure to be an insightful discussion on this generation-defining challenge for global #finance. Looking forward to what @RFF's guests have to say about the roles #IoT, #bigdata & #artificialintelligence (#AI) play in bringing the #financialsector into #climate-alignment.

The UK and EU have long been a step ahead of the US and much of the rest of the industrialized world when it comes to devising metrics and methodologies for #climate-related #financial disclosures, points out @Bloomberg's Didem Nisanci (@FSB_TCFD). #RFFlive

[Claire Sharp @_ClaireSharp_]

This is why @sciencetargets, @WorldResources & others are inviting #financial institutions to commit themselves to #sciencebasedtargets, develop and submit for approval their #ClimateAction plans, communicate their efforts to their stakeholders and #disclose their progress.

[Claire Sharp @_ClaireSharp_]

Be sure to join @sciencetargets + @WorldResources at 9:00am EST for a virtual discussion of why & how #sciencebasedtargets should be used to define, monitor and report #ClimateAction for #financial institutions worldwide. I'm looking forward to it! https://t.co/F0FTAQW3o3

[Science Based Targets initiative @sciencetargets]

LAUNCHED TODAY:

Our target validation service for financial institutions is now available. Banks, investors and insurance companies are invited to submit #ScienceBasedTargets for approval.

While today's launch by @sciencetargets is a step in the right direction, @AmalgamatedBank #Sustainability Chief @DCIvan explains that there's still a long road ahead. Successfully #decarbonizing the #financial sector will require still more institutional buy-in.
