We believe combining green and transition bonds results in maximum impact, as transition bonds essentially ‘lead the charge’ on the energy transition, and green bonds provide dedicated funds. Discover how we combine these bonds to drive climate-positive industry change and harness the potential benefits of backing a more sustainable world 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eNUnpSaP Andrew Lake Fatima Luis #climatepositiveinvesting #climatebonds #sustainablefixedincome #carbontransition For professional investors only.

Quick notes from Brian Deese's talk at the Barclays Sustainability Conference: Brian Deese is the former Director of White House National Economic Council and former Global Head of Sustainable Investing at BlackRock. 1) The biggest worry about the energy transition is the deployment/transmission of clean energy. The two biggest problems here are the constraints of our current grid and reforming the current utilities market structure. "Utilities must evolve" is the key message here. (At Remarkable Ventures Climate, we are proud investors in Camus Energy and Astrid Atkinson who are working on solving this) 2) It's been 18 months since the IRA passed. $34B in federal spending (IRA+CHIPS act+Infrastructure Bill) has created $246B in private investments. This 6 private dollars to 1 federal dollar leverage ratio is very strong. It is double what was expected. IRA has changed the game in terms of private investment Remarkable Ventures #climate #climateaction #climatetech

ESG can’t be measured or verified.

🌱 Trust is the linchpin that will determine the future of the voluntary carbon markets🌳 💵 According to BloombergNEF, restoring trust could drive companies to purchase billions of carbon credits annually, potentially elevating prices to £238 per ton and bringing the market value to over £1.1 trillion annually by 2050.   However, if trust isn't restored, the market could face a downfall. As we navigate this critical juncture, it's clear that integrity and quality are paramount. 📃   At Stabiliti, we're committed to providing a globally scalable solution to tackle climate change 🌍 . Our solution brings the necessary integrity and quality to help overhaul the VCM while also supporting local sustainable projects.    Let's continue to innovate, collaborate, and drive positive change for our planet.   VoluntaryCarbonMarket #ClimateChange #Innovation #Collaboration #Trust #Finance #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/gDeUhFA7

Did you miss our recent America in Transition blog about the unbundling of ESG? With the new administration, changes are inevitable. FFI CEO Chris Ito argues that, by unbundling the “E,” “S,” and “G,” we foresee a new era of pragmatic, risk-based investing that sharpens the focus on financial materiality. Read more about how this shift could redefine sustainable investing for institutional investors. https://lnkd.in/eh6r7eif #climateintegration #transitionintelligence #oilandgas #energytransition #lowcarboneconomy #ESG #ClimateFinance #InstitutionalInvesting

Only about 150 companies on the S&P 500 index are aligned with ESG emissions reductions. In order to avoid doing business with every company that does not meet ESG standards, one would have to divest or skip over 350 companies on the index. The environment, social and governance (ESG) investing movement has faced a lot of criticism over the past couple years for undermining fiduciary responsibility and pushing progressive agendas through an undemocratic process. At the Energy Future Forum presented by RealClearEnergy Wednesday, Terrence Keeley, author and former senior advisor at Blackrock, argued that ESG is also misallocating resources and doing nothing for the environment it claims to protect. For “those who are ‘team humanity’ and ‘team abundance,’ it’s not climate deniers that are the problem. Our problem is the tradeoff denier — those who do not see any tradeoffs in these decisions,” Keeley said. Blackrock has been a leader in the ESG movement, and CEO Larry Fink has been one of its most outspoken promoters.  https://lnkd.in/dUEm7ZfP

Regulators in every pocket of the globe are chasing down dubious impact and net-zero claims. Even 'down unda!' According to Australia's Investment Magazine, ASIC has already taken action against Mercer, Vanguard, Active Super and Future Super, and they're just getting started. “We recognize that [the net zero pledge] is a forecast and it’s imprecise. All sorts of things can get in the way, so we’re not obtuse to these issues, and we’re genuinely not unreasonable people,” according to the ASIC. A transparent, traceable, and auditable net-zero plan is a credible net-zero plan. That's why we at Rho Impact built Koi.eco - you're turn-key, impact forecasting tool and climate solutions database. It's the closest thing you can get to a green washing insurance policy. Need we say more? Rho Impact. You bring your WHY. We'll bring everything else. https://lnkd.in/gwyQtR-t #netzero #greenwashing #regulatorycompliance #regulatoraction #climaterisk #netzeroportfolio #sustainablefinance #climatetech #climatefinance #esg #esgtech #esginvesting #impactinvesting #netzerotransition #transitionplanning #newnormal #impacteconomy

The Rise of “Green Bonds”: Investing in a Sustainable Future As the world increasingly prioritizes environmental sustainability, Green Bonds have emerged as a pivotal financial instrument driving positive change. But what makes Green Bonds so significant? 🔍What are Green Bonds? Green Bonds are debt securities issued to raise capital for projects that have positive environmental impacts. Unlike traditional bonds, the funds raised are exclusively used for financing initiatives that contribute to sustainability, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and climate change mitigation. 💡 Why Green Bonds Are Gaining Traction: 1. Environmental Impact: They fund projects that actively address climate change and environmental degradation. 2. Investor Appeal: With growing interest in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria, Green Bonds attract investors looking to align their portfolios with sustainable practices. 3. Transparency: Issuers are required to report on the use of proceeds and the environmental benefits, enhancing accountability and trust. 🌍 What Does This Mean for the Future? As governments and corporations commit to more ambitious climate goals, the demand for Green Bonds is expected to rise, making them a key component of the transition to a low-carbon economy. They not only offer a promising return on investment but also contribute to a sustainable future. Are you exploring Green Bonds in your investment strategy?

One of the biggest movements of money is happening currently. It's called Green Bonds, and the wave has just barely started. S&P estimates there will be $1 Trillion in 2024 alone. https://lnkd.in/gGtJP4pB #GreenWaveFunding #GreenBonds #BlueBonds #SustainableSuperYacths #SIDS4 Anthony Scaramucci, Bob Moritz
