Navigating the next wave of sustainability

Economics and data strategy

Mission

Our goal is to make the transition to a sustainable global economy as painless as possible. We equip forward-looking people and organizations with the insight they need to thrive in the face of increasingly volatile policies and markets.

In nature, change doesn’t come all at once. It comes in waves.

The first wave of climate and sustainability action was characterized by bold pledges, targets, and frameworks. But now, the tide has pulled back. Uncertainty and hesitation fill the space.

This is Glynmoran:
The valley between the waves.
A place for pause, reflection, and strategic movement.
We can use targeted analysis to make the most of this moment — identify where markets will shrink and grow, target high conviction clients, and develop new business models.

Because the next wave is coming. To catch it we need to start building momentum now.

Glynmoran is led by Emily McGlynn, an environmental economist with over 15 years of experience in finance, academia, and government.

“In several recent studies, researchers have explored what a future America might look like if it wants to achieve Mr. Biden’s new climate goal: Cutting the nation’s planet-warming emissions at least 50 percent below 2005 levels by the year 2030.” -view article

“A new ‘One Gigaton Land Carbon Bank’ could unlock billions of dollars a year to help U.S. landowners ​“grow” a hot new commodity: carbon.” - view article

“We really haven’t built the systems to be confident in each other’s numbers,” McGlynn said. “When you don’t have transparency, that’s when it becomes hard to judge how well a country is doing. There are ways to game the system.” - view article

“The forests, farms, and fields of the United States sponge up roughly 15% of the country’s industrial greenhouse gas emissions, but that carbon sink is under threat. A new study says carbon finance, green bonds, and policy coordination can help ensure a robust sink for years to come.” -view article

“This year, a record 4 million acres in California have burned. That amounts to more than 200 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, said Emily McGlynn, an environmental economist.” - view article

“The US has lodged with the UN their plan for reducing their carbon emissions by 2050. It calls for an 80% cut in CO2 from 2005 levels via a much bigger role for renewables in energy production and the continued use of fossil fuels only with technology to capture carbon.” -view article
