Join Joel and James ad they chat with climate change activitist, Ben McNeil. Ben learnt that the most important thing to help climate change is to empower financial markets to accelerate to net zero emissions. But it's difficult to quantify the risks and harness the investment opportunities during the global carbon transition. That's why he co-founded Emmi to solve this problem, allowing a quantitative view of carbon risk and opportunities across equity portfolios in the net-zero world. This then allows asset managers to effectively deploy capital to create long term economic value and have positive real world impact on climate. This is Keeping Up With Data, the podcast that keeps data enthusiasts up to speed with what is happening in the world of data. We bring in the leading minds from the data industry to talk all things career, news, embarrassing stories, failures and successes. This podcast is in partnership with The Black Dog Institute who aim to create a mentally healthier world for everyone.

How can we pursue projects that might not have an immediately apparent payoff? How did the coupling of scientific “failure” and personal “failure” develop? To what extent do corporations have a role in scientific research and endeavors? How science can connect with society? Organizations as platforms to raise money for your research We revisit “secret learning” and “new knowledge” (i.e. negative results and/or failures)  Thanks to Ben McNeil again for a great show and interview.
