As Senior Climate Specialist within the Climate Scenarios & Sustainability team, Bronwyn is responsible for continuous research and innovation in climate scenario analysis technology with a focus on overseeing communication about the policy, macroeconomic, and financial implications of climate change. Additionally, she leads the ongoing updates of Ortec Finance’s NGFS-based climate economic and financial datasets under the ClimateMAPS - climate scenario analysis solution, ensuring they reflect NGFS’s continuous updates to their public reference climate scenarios.
