- Illuminate how climate risk moves through the economy, including insurance repricing, credit downgrades, corporate disclosures, agricultural futures, real estate valuations, and municipal bond markets.
- Translate science into economic consequences, connecting climate models, weather data, and physical risk research to markets, prices, and policy.

- Collaborate with Business, Real Estate, National, Weather, and other desks to produce ambitious work.
- Think visually and work in different formats, including video and data visualization.
- Explain complexity clearly for readers unfamiliar with specific markets.
- Tell the big picture by connecting events and seeing the larger narrative in the United States and abroad.
- Dig deep, follow the money, and illuminate hidden deals and decisions.
