Hello,<\/p>\n

This, Thread #4, went out to over 300 people today. If you\u2019re new, you can read previous Threads\u00a0#1<\/a>,\u00a0#2\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0#3<\/a>\u00a0to see where this is all coming from and sign up here for future updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll take no more than 10 minutes to read everything and set up your profile.<\/p>\n

We now have Constellations in development around the following areas:<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. Open Environmental Risk Standard<\/h1>\n

    This is the most ambitious project I’ve embarked upon so far.<\/p>\n

    Last month the IPCC special report<\/a> painted a bleak view of the future, to the point that the BBC called it a\u00a0Final call to save the world from ‘climate catastrophe’<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    It reports that exceeding 1.5\u00b0C could disrupt the planet’s liveability and we have about 12 years to do something about it (we’re on track for about 3\u00b0C).<\/p>\n

    We’ve been working over the last six months with Europe\u2019s leading climate innovation fund,\u00a0Climate KIC<\/a>, to convened dozens of experts from the sector and map out the key challenges. For example, large-scale asset insurance is increasing in cost to the point that more areas are becoming uninsurable: we do not understand the risks and do not yet have the tools to solve the problems.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    As a next step, we are creating an Open Environmental Risk Standard (akin to Open Banking) for the risk insurance sector, to:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. develop an open standard for sharing environmental risk modelling information across the sector;<\/li>\n
    2. create sufficient momentum to reach an \u2018escape velocity\u2019 that drives engagement and adoption;<\/li>\n
    3. enable a step-change in economic, social and environmental outcomes that unlocks a multi-trillion dollar market opportunity in the use and application of risk information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Our hypothesis is that if we can bring together the collective intelligence of multidisciplinary teams, systems and data, that we can create better predictive models and unlock investment at-scale. Our target is 10% of the market.<\/p>\n

      Constellation member updates in this area, Mark Harvey (Resurgence<\/a>) is developing flood risk solutions for vulnerable cities; Peter Clive (Wood Group) has written on Pathways to Sustainability<\/a> including a possible useful application of Proof of Work<\/a>; Des Miloshevic held her fourth hackathon<\/a>\u00a0in Belgrade on Global Warming and Pollution (with thanks to Gea Mikic<\/a> for research & development of my keynote slides).<\/p>\n
