Featuring Catherine Burns (The Nature Conservancy) and Alyssa Go (RRG Capital Management) on Bloomberg Intelligence ESG Currents Podcast
How are investors rethinking opportunity as water and climate dynamics reshape real-asset markets?
A new episode of Bloomberg Intelligence's ESG Currents Podcast explores this question with Cat Burns (NatureVest, The Nature Conservancy), Alyssa Go (RRG Capital Management), and host Melanie Rua. The discussion explores incorporating water risk, climate constraints, and natural-system resilience into decision-making across agriculture and other real-asset portfolios.
Highlights include:
The market is starting to catch up to what's already happening on the ground. Climate shocks and material shifts in growing conditions like temperature and water availability aren't theoretical, they're hitting yields, operations, and bottom lines in real time.
Water security is emerging as one of the most critical issues for producers. How water is valued (and managed) is changing quickly.
"Nature as infrastructure" isn't just a concept. From groundwater recharge to healthy soils, natural systems can reduce risk and stabilize returns in very tangible ways.
With the right structure, investing in resilience can drive financial performance and better outcomes for communities and ecosystems.
