Former EPA Head Carol M. Browner and National Security and Risk Expert R.P. Eddy join Cervest’s Climate Intelligence Council
Summary
Browner is the former Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy. As last year’s IPCC (UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report highlighted, a persistent rise in global warming is triggering more volatile, extreme weather events with accelerating severity and frequency. Furthermore, a recent Cervest survey revealed that 83% of decision-makers at large businesses in the U.S. and U.K. believe climate volatility poses a tangible risk to their corporate bottom line. Adaptation and resilience against physical risk are essential to ensure we deliver mass social, economic and environmental returns, yet most decision makers have no idea where to start. Drawing on their objectivity and expertise, they will keep us true to our commitment to provide Climate Intelligence that is science-based, transparent and open to everyone.” “To make sound, durable public policy you have to have the latest information and science.
