What happens when the biggest risk to business isn’t in the model? Most financial models have a silent assumption buried at their core: that the climate will stay stable. 

Spencer Glendon spent nearly two decades in investment research identifying what others missed. His search for hidden assumptions led him to discover that climate stability underpins virtually every business model, yet most leaders still treat climate as a specialist issue rather than a core strategic concern.

In conversation with Des Dearlove and Steve Goldbach, Spencer explores:

  • why climate belongs in the boardroom, not in a box
  • why markets have been so slow to price climate risk
  • how to turn abstract climate science into practical decisions

As the founder of Probable Futures, Spencer translates complex climate models into accessible tools, helping leaders understand probable future, rather than distant challenges or apocalyptic scenarios.
