Last month, climate-risk scores for flood, wildfire, heat, and air quality disappeared from Zillow listings. For millions of homebuyers, that data wasn’t just nice to have. It was how families understood the real risks behind the biggest financial decision of their lives.

What do some consumers think ESG stands for? Eggs, sausages, and grits. Will Howard, our Head of Advisory Services, spoke with @morningbrew.bsky.social on our research on how businesses can improve their climate messaging, including using plain language like the phrase responsible business.

The clean energy brand is better than we think, and it’s easy to strengthen it further if we’re disciplined about emphasizing the right attributes. Specifically, positioning clean energy as the cheaper, better choice because it’s local, an unlimited resource, and a proven technology.

That’s Interesting: the national cost-of-living conversation isn’t a problem for clean energy. It’s an opportunity. Our research found most Americans already believe that clean energy costs the same or less than energy from fossil fuels.

We need a massive shift in how we talk about climate change to drive demand for solutions and make it an everyday issue that connects with people.

Looking for guidance on how to talk about climate change in this moment? Our CEO, John Marshall, joined @ayanaeliza.bsky.social on her WHAT IF WE GET IT RIGHT podcast to discuss what the data shows on how to be an effective climate communicator. Tune in here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Public support for carbon removal is strong. New research shared by @co2bc.bsky.social + @pe-coalition.bsky.social finds: 🔹66% of people in the UK + US back government action on CDR 🔹64% view companies more favorably if they invest in CDR

Polls show 80% of Americans living in high-risk zones have become highly concerned about insurance costs.

Our Head of Insights and Advisory Services, Will Howard, will be speaking at @trellisgroup.bsky.social's #GreenFin on October 28 in San Jose. He’ll be presenting our research on best practices for how businesses should be talking about climate change.

On Possibly we’re always thinking about the most effective way to talk about climate change. What words resonate with people? And what makes people tune us out? So we turned to @pe-coalition.bsky.social, a marketing firm for planet earth, for some tips thepublicsradio.org/possibly-pod...

CEOs should feel confident that talking about climate change does not alienate their investors, customers or employees. In fact, when companies say they are investing in clean energy or reducing their carbon pollution, consumers are more likely to buy from them and speak well of them.

This week our CEO John Marshall spoke at @climategroup.bsky.social Hub Live on the growing trend of climate hushing and how speaking up with more compelling and resonant narratives that tie climate change to people’s everyday lives can significantly grow support for climate solutions.

Destructive weather is causing a crisis in the insurance industry. Rates are going up, insurers are pulling out of areas because of climate change, and people are scared their town could be the next devastated by a climate disaster with no insurance lifeline.

On stage with @pe-coalition.bsky.social, @mindylubber.bsky.social, @wemeanbusiness.bsky.social & @chasecain.bsky.social—reminded me that consistency beats complacency. When the going gets tough, our climate conversations have to get louder. #ClimateWeekNYC

In a polarized environment, many companies are questioning if and how to talk about climate. Our research shows that climate is a positive message for brands for reaching consumers and investors and can come with financial and reputational benefits, if the right messaging is used

Are adaptation conversations a moral hazard or a messaging gateway for climate communicators? #ThatsInteresting: Our data shows that preparation messaging was as productive as pollution reduction messaging for broader climate goals (maybe even more productive)!

After extreme weather events, people are actively looking for answers, so it’s important to help people connect the dots between climate change and extreme weather and shift focus to climate solutions and disaster preparation that can #ProtectWhatWeLove

Our research revealed a universal truth: the most motivating climate message isn’t about green jobs or innovation. The idea that actually moves the needle and sparks action is about protecting what we love, especially our children and future generations.

Super Bowl ad drives home the critical point: When it comes to acting on climate change #lateristoolate. But SOLUTIONS EXIST. If we act now, we can help protect the people and places we love. Bravo Science Moms & Potential Energy Coalition 🌏🏈

Our research finds directly talking about the real human consequences of climate change and emphasizing the “big why” of protecting the people and places we love is the most effective way to build support for action. Read @nationalobserver.com to learn more: www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/14/o...
