The "business materiality" conversation around climate change is relatively recent. In 2011 Mercer Consulting declared climate policy (but not climate change itself) as a potentially material business variable; only in 2015 were the physical impacts of climate change added to the materiality mix. The Climatographers have 30+ years of advisory experience.

As climate change has come to be recognized as a disruptive and potentially even catastrophic societal risk, the global business community has increasingly been called upon to take voluntary steps to tackle climate change.

EcoSecurities acquired my firm, Trexler Climate + Energy Services, soon after EcoSecurities' IPO, one of the first climate-related IPOs in Europe.

My work on forestry mitigation potentials at the World Resources Institute formed much of the basis for the IPCC's Second Assessment Report treatment of the topic. I later served as Chapter Editor on carbon accounting and carbon offsets for the IPCC's Special Report on Land Use and Land Use Change.

As a consultant to the law firm of Marron, Reid & Sheehy I worked on a wide range of regulatory proceedings from facility-siting cases to energy efficiency standards development. I served as an expert witness in more than 2,000 MWs of power plant siting cases, including gas, solar, biomass, and coal plants. Including the only coal-fired power plant ever to.

Worked extensively on the first-ever corporate carbon offset project (AES in Guatemala), developing the first REDD project methodology. Published two major studies looking at domestic and international forestry climate change opportunities and potentials, the latter of which was the basis for much of the IPCC's consideration of forestry as a mitigation.
