🤔 Did You Know? – Investing in Climate, Sustainability, and Oceans 🌎 Looking to make a difference with your investments? Several types of bonds are designed to help protect our planet while generating potential returns! 🌿 1️⃣ Climate Bonds focus specifically on projects that combat climate change—like developing wind farms and solar energy plants. They're ideal for investors passionate about climate action and resilience. 🔆🌾 2️⃣ Sustainability-Linked Bonds (SLBs) provide flexibility. Instead of funding specific projects, they tie financial terms to a company’s overall sustainability performance. Companies are rewarded for hitting sustainability targets like reducing emissions or improving diversity. 📊♻️ 3️⃣ Blue Bonds are all about protecting our oceans. They fund marine conservation efforts, sustainable fisheries, and clean water projects, supporting United Nations SDG 14 (Life Below Water). If you care about preserving marine ecosystems, Blue Bonds are your go-to! 🌊🐟 Explore these diverse ways to invest in a sustainable future while making your portfolio greener! #DidYouKnow #ClimateBonds #SLBs #BlueBonds #SustainableInvesting #GreenFinance #SaveOurPlanet #OceansFirst #EcoInvestments #FinancialFuture #FinancEarthMission Marwa Bendaoud Patricia Pereira Diogo

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.

💡 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.

Through projects with Ecologi | B Corp™, we were able to offset our entire 2022 carbon emissions. 🌍 One of the key projects contributing to this achievement is the Macaúbas Landfill Gas Project in Brazil. This initiative focuses on collecting and utilising landfill gas, significantly reducing methane emissions that would otherwise enter the atmosphere. Verified by the Verified Carbon Standard, this project not only highlights our commitment to environmental responsibility but also aligns with three of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Together, we are taking meaningful strides in the fight against climate change and fostering a sustainable future.
