Good overview of the importance of disclosure and management of Scope 3 emissions — and how to narrow the focus on which categories of Scope 3 are most material to make this challenge more manageable for investors #netzero #netzeroportfolios #parisagreement #decarbonization #climaterisk Intentional Endowments Network

Do you know ESG with scope 3 ?! Investors Wrestle with the ‘Scope 3 Conundrum’. Regulation and scrutiny have finally forced the world to face what’s been called one of the most difficult problems in climate finance. #netzero #decarbonization

Money is flowing into climate tech companies, but how do we know which ones will actually have an impact on carbon emissions? A new report from Congruent Ventures and Silicon Valley Bank features Camus as one of 50 companies with significant potential to do just that. 🎉 The report surveyed over 50 experts in academia, finance and private sector businesses to assemble a list that was then whittled down to 50 out of more than 500 nominees. Camus' orchestration software for grid operators and planners is accelerating the transition to a reliable, affordable, and zero-carbon power system. We're grateful and proud to see our progress and potential recognized by industry experts. Check out the full list: https://lnkd.in/gFH42dNn

When conducting due diligence, we use the “Prepare, Adapt, Recover “taxonomy to identify at which stage(s) a company’s product or service has the greatest potential to impact the climate resilience of the end user—whether that’s a smallholder farmer, an SME owner, or an informal worker in the gig economy. Learn how we break down each stage and apply it in real investment scenarios using our Climate Adaptation & Resilience (CAR) Framework: https://lnkd.in/eYAYRQCT 

📣 💥 This is a call to action. We need your help! 💥 📣 As you might have followed, the Carbon Removal Certification Framework (#CRCF) - potentially the most important piece of #CDR legislation in the world right now - has entered its final negotiation stage, the #Trilogues. 🛠️ There are still several aspects of the current positions which would prevent a portfolio approach and #techneutrality, de facto excluding a large amount of CDR technologies and reducing the EU´s chances to reach net-zero. 🔊 For this reason, we need to put our argument in front of policy makers now - louder than ever. 💪 160 companies - including ours - have already signed a public letter calling for tech-openness in the CRCF. Our goal is to get 200 companies to sign on before the end of the week to put it on CRCF negotiators´ desks on Monday. 🌎 Any organisation or company working in or on CDR can sign the letter. You don´t have to be European either. This is a global call to action to ensure a cornerstone legislation remains tech-neutral. 🤝 Action now can have an outsized impact. Do get in touch if you have any questions and hope to count on many of you for this big advocacy push! 📜 Link to the letter: https://lnkd.in/gTFn2zdA ✍️ Link to the form to become a signatory: https://lnkd.in/gYiqb6Ws
