About
Elena Vidal builds the bridge between Earth observation science and the people who have to price risk.
Her keynotes explain what satellites can and cannot tell you about physical climate risk, and how insurers, banks and infrastructure operators are already using that data.
She works in Spanish and English and is a frequent moderator at financial-sector sustainability events.
