• The Next Frontier of Sustainability: Measuring Biodiversity Risk

  Carbon, selfishly, has dominated the sustainability conversation for some time. But what about the often-overlooked foundation of our everything in our economy: biodiversity. How can you measure that if its basically everything? We show you how in this episode, exploring how every business, from agriculture to technology, depends on the health of ecosystems, and how investors can now quantify those connections through innovative data-driven tools. By unpacking the creation of our new Biodiversity Risk Index Screen, the conversation reveals how measuring nature’s complexity can help reduce financial exposure to environmental loss and drive more resilient investment strategies. It’s a deep dive into how markets are beginning to account for the true value of the natural world. Host: Mike Disabato, MSCI ESG ResearchGuest: Laura Coomber, MSCI ESG Research

• When Climate Hazards Collide

  Climate change doesn’t just arrive one disaster at a time. It stacks crises on top of each other: drought followed by flood, heat followed by fire; shocks that turn small problems into big financial hits. In this episode, we talked about how compounding climate hazards are reshaping the bottled water industry, what a 2024 Nestlé scandal reveals about the future of water quality, and why investors should be paying closer attention. Host: Mike Disabato - MSCI ESG ResearchGuest: Cole Martin - MSCI ESG ResearchLink to paper discussed in episode: https://www.msci.com/research-and-insights/blog-post/compound-climate-hazards-pressure-beverage-giants
