Jaakko Kooroshy: The real impact of climate goals on global cities

How prepared are major G20 cities for physical climate risk? This episode, Jaakko Kooroshy, Global Head of Sustainable Research at LSEG, unpacks the findings from LSEG's COP29 Net Zero Atlas report including what emissions targets the G20 are expected to set, particularly the US following the presidential election, and how these targets matter for investors. Jaakko also delves into the financial consequences of physical climate risks including why some countries are more at risk than others, and what the scenarios the report creates using the sovereign climate assessment framework mean for emissions, transition and physical risk.
