Data-driven Tech Solutions for Climate Risk | Gopal Erinjippurath, Sust Global

Welcome to Season 2 of Climate Money Work! This season, we’ll sit down with board leaders, Chief Sustainability Officers, regulation experts, and more, as we unpack how they’re each thinking about an evolving regulatory landscape, the explosive growth in generative AI, as well as an updated view on the current global landscape of ESG. 

In today’s episode we’re chatting with Gopal Erinjippurath, Founder and CTO at Sust Global, a tech company developing climate analytics and APIs to enable the climate economy using satellites, geospatial data, and deep learning techniques. 

As economic damages from extreme weather events now total $100 billion annually in the U.S. alone, it’s important for both companies and investors alike to gain a deeper understanding of climate risk. We go deep on both physical and transition risk and discuss the role of data and analytics in understanding and mitigating these risks. We also discuss how both the use cases and data sets can differ across sectors. 

As Gopal sees it, a world is emerging in the next 10 years where every dashboard will incorporate climate analytics, which is why Sust Global is laser focused on enabling their users to make the best meaningful decision using the most relevant data sets.
