Angel Hsu Speaking Topics

  • Effective ESG: Tools for Measuring and Reporting Your Organization’s Impact

    Boards, investors and C-suite executives are now expected to meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) requirements, yet it is not always easy to measure and report impact or to innovate and implement solutions. The idea of achieving net zero emissions by 2050 may sound daunting, especially for large corporations and multinationals, but pioneering climate and data scientist Angel Hsu – UNC Chapel Hill professor, founding director of the Data-Driven EnviroLab and a global expert on climate policy – is making it easier. In this talk, she shares her rigorous scientific research, insights and data-driven measurement tools organizations can use to inform decision making and increase transparency. She also outlines innovative solutions for addressing the climate crisis and explains how businesses can take the lead.

  • Demystifying China’s Climate Policy

    Since China is the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, many people are wondering how Chinese policymakers expect to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, especially after closing thousands of coal mines, then opening them back up again after the country faced electricity shortages. In this presentation, pioneering climate and data scientist Angel Hsu – UNC Chapel Hill professor, founding director of the Data-Driven EnviroLab and a global expert on Chinese climate policy – explains why China has many good reasons to speed up its transition to a green economy. Drawing on her deep research into China and the global south, Hsu reveals how Chinese leaders plan to make the transition and illuminates how their decisions may affect their relationship with the U.S. and the rest of the world’s energy players.
