Here's what to expect from the workshop: ✔ Key components of a net zero plan  ✔ A simulation of a real-world net zero plan evaluation with experts narrating their process  ✔ Practical insights free of jargon about how to evaluate a net zero plan Read the speaker’s bios and register here: https://lnkd.in/eEFzWw3B  #Netzero #ClimateAction #CorporateClimateAction

Trying to figure out which companies have genuine #netzero plans - and which ones are greenwashing - is tricky. Don’t worry. You’re not alone here! Register for this (free) 8/22 Net Impact workshop with industry experts🌎🧠 https://lnkd.in/eRBGXH5s

How are we doing in tackling the climate crisis? Anjali Grover and Ryan Panchadsaram sat down with David Biello of TED Conferences to discuss the Speed & Scale 2024 Global Climate Tracker: "We’ve gone from catastrophe to bad, but we can do better … When we looked at our key results, many of them were off course or failing. But there was some good news, and we think there's a lot of reasons to pay attention to that good news." The bright spots: 🚗 Electric vehicles ☀️Renewables 💸 Venture funding for clean tech Check out the video here:

Join us in weaving a tapestry of change 🌍 at our forum, 'Threading Academia & Industry for a Sustainable Future.' This event explores the crucial partnership between academia and industry in tackling climate change. Discover recent collaborations and learn how bridging the gap between knowledge and action is essential for creating a greener tomorrow. Together, let's shape a sustainable future for generations to come. #SEACIS24 #Climateinvestsummit #Climatetech

Science communication is the bridge between knowing and doing. When people understand the science behind climate change, they care. When they care, they act. It’s our duty as scientists to make the science clear, relatable, and impossible to ignore. 🌍 #SciComm #ClimateAction

What's actually being done to help address the lack of funding for FOAK (first-of-a-kind) ClimateTech projects? If you're working on a solution to this, I’d love to get your expert feedback on this systems thinking presentation on this problem (this is for one of my MBA classes). In this presentation, I map the current system of the climate capital stack, stakeholders, factors that influence the ecosystem, and identify potential areas for change. Which changes do we need to remove financial barriers to develop advanced climate tech? Is there anything else that should be included? Thank you in advance for your help! https://lnkd.in/gCeFSrg3

Excited to share insights from a recent conversation with Rob van Straten, the visionary CEO of Skytree, during our latest episode of Bright Founders Talk. During our discussion, Rob emphasized several key points that we find highly valuable: - Rob delved into the technological innovations at Skytree, focusing on direct air capture (DAC) technologies that hold promise for significantly reducing atmospheric CO2. - Moreover, Rob called for collaboration rather than confrontation, especially with industries traditionally seen as part of the problem, such as the oil sector. "I believe that the oil companies are part of the solution". - This enlightening discussion underscores the importance of technology and cooperation in our fight against climate change, emphasizing that effective solutions will require contributions from all sectors of society and corners of the globe.

In #ClimatebaseFellowship Cohort 6 learned about drawing down carbon this week. It’s much more complex and exciting a space than I realized. And I the middle of the week this story broke! It gives hope that we can innovate and adopt new and existing methods and technologies to meet this crisis. One highlight was also this game, see link in comments👇 @climatebase https://lnkd.in/ghXWBxVF

Is wavepower key to unlocking the climate puzzle? Dragan Tutic, CEO and Co-Founder of Oneka Technologies, shares how his company is harnessing the power of the oceans to combat water scarcity in the face of climate change on this episode of Liquid Assets: The Business of Water with Ravi Kurani. Watch now to learn about the future of clean water! 

What is visioning and why do we do it? We cannot plan for a world we cannot imagine. As the world grapples with the climate crisis, how can we achieve emissions targets while also ensuring that people are at the forefront of policy and planning? In this video, we explain how ‘visioning’ can be an invaluable method for participatory climate action, including residents and ensuring their buy-in, when designing cities that are climate resilient. #Watch to know why we used visioning to imagine a netzero future for Panaji in our upcoming report, ““Net Zero Panaji: 2050 Vision Report” Launching soon!
