In short: How do we measure the world's progress on climate change? This keynote explores the complex data landscape behind ESG investments, highlighting the critical role of scientific agencies and intellectual property.

Dr. Simon Jackman explores the mechanisms of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data, specifically within the context of the 2010 London Accord. The discussion centers on the reliability of data sources—ranging from scientific agencies to NGOs—and how this information informs climate change investments.

A key focus is the intersection of intellectual property and cleantech. By understanding how data is curated and protected, investors and policymakers can make more informed decisions. The lecture serves as a foundational look at the 'brains' behind environmental finance.
