Internationalizing climate capabilities is crucial for addressing the global nature of climate change- climate issues transcend national borders and enhancing collaboration across nations allows for more effective mitigation, adaptation, and innovation strategies. Today across the pond in New Zealand our sister country is actively engaged in climate action with key leaders and actors in the climate landscape where Peter Castellas moderates the Innovation Session- Connecting Capital with Climate Solutions. New Zelanad highlights: 🚞 New Zealand has committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 under the Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Act 2019. 🚞 The New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) is the country’s main tool for reducing emissions. It covers all sectors of the economy, including forestry, energy, industrial processes, and waste. 🚞 80% of its electricity from renewable sources, primarily from hydro, geothermal, and wind energy. The government has set a target to reach 100% renewable electricity generation by 2030. A special thanks to the organisers Climate VC Fund, Impact Investing Network and Bay Trust - and panel members: 🌍 Peter Castellas (Moderator) - CEO, Climate Zeitgeist 🌱 Rohan MacMahon - Partner, Climate VC Fund ⚡ Christina Houlihan - Co-Founder & CEO, Bspkl 💡 Dennis Turton - Chief Executive, Trust Waikato #ClimateSolutions #ImpactInvesting #Sustainability #NetZero #ClimateAction

💡 FACT: A significant gap exists in financing nature-based carbon removal despite its potential as a climate change solution. Increasing private investment into natural climate solutions (NCS) is vital to addressing climate, biodiversity, and land degradation challenges. 📈 🌳 Investors have a unique opportunity to accelerate the trend towards high-integrity NCS projects, sending market signals that elevate quality standards and reinforce demand for NCS-based carbon credits. The Natural Climate Solutions Alliance published an investor guide to simplify the investment process for natural climate solutions in the voluntary carbon market in six steps. Read the key points in the summary below or check out the full report here: https://lnkd.in/d3NnSgPm *** If you are looking to invest in a high-integrity terrestrial and blue carbon project, reach out to Lee Pearson to learn about our full pipeline! #naturebasedsolutions #carbonproject #mangroves #bluecarbon #southeastasia #investment #carbonfinancing

"Too often, environment policies are seen as opposed to those promoting the economy, jobs and industry. But they don’t have to clash," write Euan Ritchie, Catherine Lovelock and Sarah Bekessy in The Conversation. "Calls to fast-track clean energy projects and stop them being held up by environmental approvals are risky. We could tackle one crisis (climate change) by making another worse (biodiversity and extinction). "Australia has destroyed nearly 40% of its forests since European colonisation, with much of the remaining native vegetation highly fragmented. Because this clearing has already happened, it should be entirely possible to build renewables without damaging the homes of native species. In fact, we can do better – we can take degraded farmland, build solar on it and restore low-lying native vegetation around it to actually boost biodiversity. Requiring new renewable projects to be nature positive would encourage creative approaches to delivering infrastructure while benefiting nature.” Text from 'Out of alignment: how clashing policies make for terrible environmental outcomes' Read more at https://buff.ly/3Urkkf8

A recent article by Fred Krupp from Environmental Defense Fund in TIME highlights the power of carbon markets to uplift the Global South during an era of climate change-induced destruction. His key takeaways: 🌱 Carbon markets fund sustainable development, including renewables and biodiversity conservation 🌎 Carbon markets speed up the pace of climate action, facilitating a race to the top ⛈ Carbon markets support the places most vulnerable to climate impacts As Fred notes, “Climate change won’t wait for us to win a consensus for bolder action. And we can’t afford to ignore any tool that will lead to faster progress. Carbon markets can provide billions of dollars towards climate solutions.” Boomitra heartily agrees! We’re helping farms become resilient against climate change, while providing them with more income.
