In that role, he endeavored to understand issues that could affect markets, but that fell outside of the typical silos in finance, such as the modernization of China, the consequences of ubiquitous information & computing, political risk, inequality, & eventually, climate change.nIn 2017, Spencer began collaborating with scientists, business leaders, designers, technologists, & educators to research the effects of climate change & to share those findings publicly. This work helped underpin initiatives such as a first-of-its-kind partnership between Wellington Management & the Woodwell Climate Research Center, as well as McKinsey & Co.s 2020 Climate Risk & Response report. Inspired by these collaborations, he founded Probable Futures in 2020 to help democratize climate science & build bridges between climate science & many other disciplines.nIn addition to his role at Probable Futures, Spencer serves as a senior fellow at Woodwell Climate & spends time as a pro bono consultant & public speaker across industries & communities.
