The Scent of Climate #Adaptation What an inspiring collaboration with Symrise AG, exploring the intersection of the fragrance value chain and regenerative agriculture. As part of the #TheShift conference, we explored a unique idea: What scent could embody the drive for climate adaptation? A fragrance crafted from resilient, sustainable ingredients. A big thank you to Dirk Neudorf for your engaging presentation at the conference and to Regine Lueghausen for pioneering this innovative concept with us.

We’re thrilled to be featured in the latest #Adaptation10 release by Climate Proof, alongside innovators like Aggéres, Hydro International, AquaFence and others working to build resilience against climate change impacts. 🌍 Flooding remains one of the most pressing physical climate risks, and we are committed to leveraging cutting-edge flood forecasting and risk management solutions to empower communities and businesses. 🌊 What are your thoughts on integrating tech into climate adaptation strategies? And what is needed at the global versus local level to limit human and material losses? Last month, we had the opportunity to join the conversation at The Shift - 1st Corporate Climate Adaptation Conference (Nov 6th) in Berlin, where we explored how technology can play a pivotal role in building climate resilience. The event was an inspiring hub of ideas, collaboration, and shared urgency to tackle these challenges head-on. Thank you to everyone who contributed their insights! And a big thank you to Climate Proof, Louie Woodall, and DSR & Partners - The Climate Adaptation Advisors for highlighting our work in this report. - Link in comments #ClimateAdaptation #FloodTech #Resilience #Sustainability #Innovation

Last month I had the privilege of opening The Shift - 1st Corporate Climate Adaptation Conference (Nov 6th) with a keynote that followed the renowned climatologist Stefan Rahmstorf. Convening again with the profession I left some years ago, after the #DeepAdaptation paper, seemed a suitable conclusion to my round of talks promoting the book #BreakingTogether. The reactions and discussions highlighted for me that it is a huge task to face difficult realities together in dialogue in professional contexts. I share my reflections in an essay, and am pleased the organizers Daniel Schmitz-Remberg, Thomas Krick and Axel Franck will be exploring how to make space for difficult realities, emotions and disagreements as they take this initiative forward. https://lnkd.in/g4WadvY5 Jenny Kwan Ina Karabasz Emil V.

Flood & Tech - the next #Adaptation10 release. When discussing climate disasters, floods often dominate the headlines—and for good reason. A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, as climate expert Stefan Rahmstorf aptly illustrates, making extreme rainfall events increasingly common. In this #Adaptation10 edition, we take a closer look at resilient responses to the impacts of climate change and feature ten innovative startups tackling flood from different perspectives: From high-tech such as flood forecasting & monitoring technology, storm water treatment or automated flood fences to low-tech such as water buffers in the streets et al. Among them: -Aggéres -7Analytics -Hydro International -AquaFence -Bufferblock ...and 5 more: Sign up to Climate Proof for additional insights: https://lnkd.in/dykZYbN8 Proud to partner again with Louie Woodall & DSR & Partners - The Climate Adaptation Advisors #Climate #AdaptationTech #Resilience #Sustainability #ClimateRisk Looking forward to getting your comments & thoughts Theresa Leisgang Sara Mously Ina Karabasz Marcia Toledo Sotillo Eric White Annika Zawadzki Ujala Qadir Jenny Kwan Sebastian Buckup Poonam Balan Jem Bendell Prof. Dr. Nadine Pratt Thomas Krick A/Prof Johanna Nalau Stephan Hillert 📈 Florian Feigs Jay Koh Emilie Mazzacurati Jorga Burri-Grisloff Elin Al Zaim Wing Xiaoying Huo Axel Franck Ann Mettler John Robinson Felix Kaiser Ulrich Seitz
