📈Double Isn’t Enough. We Need 5x. Annual climate finance doubled in four years, but to stay on track and meet the opportunity of energy abundance, we need it to quintuple by 2030. That is $7.4 TRILLION a year. At Eunoia Group, we partner with asset owners and capital allocators to invest in a resilient and prosperous future.

🌍✨ In September, we hosted our Unlocking Climate Finance for Social Impact event during Climate Week in New York, in partnership with Empower Co. and Glenmede It was an incredible morning gathering bringing together leading voices from the world of impact investing and social finance to explore the vital intersection of climate and social outcomes. Through insightful discussions, we highlighted the women driving innovative solutions—from regenerative agriculture in Brazil to circular fashion and climate infrastructure. Maggie Cutts of Vibrant Data Labs and Justin Winters of One Earth highlighted the data and strategies supporting multidisciplinary projects and how global collaboration can accelerate climate action worldwide. Speakers like Hannah Simmons of ERA - Ecosystem Regeneration Associates Brazil and Stacy A. Swann of Resilient Earth Capital sparked important conversations about the future of climate finance and how we can build a more inclusive, sustainable world. The morning also featured Lara Pierpoint, Managing Director of Trellis Climate, who presented on enabling scalable, impact-first solutions for climate infrastructure, and Shelly Xu, Founder of SXD, who shared her fashion startup’s efforts to empower climate refugees while reducing carbon emissions through design. We’re proud to have contributed to data-driven insights and tangible examples for investors seeking ROI. At Eunoia Group, we’re building a portfolio of transformative projects that advance resilience, energy abundance, and communities around the globe. #ClimateWeek #Resilience #Decarbonization #Infrastructure

Innovation has always started with a spark—one person, one idea. But before the age of digital twins, bringing that idea to life meant costly prototypes and a lot of trial and error. Today, we can model, simulate, and refine designs digitally before ever using a single resource. This shift isn’t just faster—it’s smarter, more sustainable, and game-changing. 🌟 Thanks to Barbara Humpton, the CEO of Siemens USA, for sharing this insight during our inaugural episode of our #GreatDeployment Series with our founder, Chante Harris. #Decarbonization #Infrastructure #Energy #Resilience

Investing in the decarbonization of our built environment is critical to our shared future and economies. The built environment is responsible for nearly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with 28% coming from building operations (including heating, cooling, and electricity use) and 11% from construction and building materials. Reducing these emissions through sustainable practices is essential for protecting the planet and building a more resilient future. #Eunoia #Decarbonization #Infrastructure #BuiltEnvironment

Deep-tech climate entrepreneurs face major hurdles, from translating research into products to scaling and acquiring customers in the market with longer timelines and intricate value chains. Despite this, today we see more and more examples of companies successfully navigating these complexities, scaling their solutions, and securing capital for early infrastructure projects that can lead to full commercialization like Fervo Energy. Still, financing these steps remains a key challenge.

The past few years we’ve seen a huge uptick in venture capital and early stage investment signaling a key opportunity to accelerate global investment in decarbonization.

🌍✨ We we’re so thrilled to join Nasdaq’s special opening bell to kickoff New York Climate Week 2024! We celebrated the brilliant thinkers and doers dedicated to creating scalable solutions across industries. Gathering at Nasdaq reinforced the importance of climate action for both our society and economy—from startups to public markets. Our founder, Chante Harris, moderated two insightful discussions as part of the session, "Forging New Markets: Toward Resilient Partnerships & Dealmaking," at the Building the Future Summit 2024 - Nasdaq. The first discussion featured Hannah Bebbington, Head of Deployment at Frontier/Stripe Climate, and Julia Reichelstein, CEO of Vaulted Deep. Chante also led a conversation with Zachary Bogue, Managing Partner at DCVC, and Etosha (Eee-tah-sha) Cave, Co-Founder & Chief Scientific Officer at Twelve. We can’t wait to see what’s next for all of the incredible stakeholders present at the day’s convening. A big thank you to Elsa Givan and Nasdaq for the invitation. #Nasdaq #NasdaqExchange #NYCW #ClimateWeek2024 #FrontierMarkets #ClimateTech #Decarbonization

Empower Co. hosted and attended several meaningful events during Climate Week NYC. This year, the theme of Climate Week was "It's Time," highlighting the urgent need for progress on accelerating scalable innovation in climate finance. Empower Co.’s mission to use voluntary markets to catalyze private sector investment in women-led climate solutions is the kind of innovative solution needed now — in the words of our founder Rachel Vestergaard Frandsen — “to not just mitigate or adapt to the climate crisis, but end it.” Empower Co. and Project Dandelion cohosted an extraordinary gathering of government officials, climate leaders, advocates, and philanthropic partners to align global goals and chart a course for collective climate action in preparation for COP30 in Brazil. We were honored to have many luminaries of the climate movement in attendance, including former president of Ireland Mary Robinson, Ambassador Elizabeth Bagley, former President of the UN General Assembly María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés, Sonia Guajajara, Ana Toni, Anielle Franco, Célia Xakriabá, Puyr Tembé, and Pat Mitchell. Empower Co. and Eunoia cohosted an inspiring event with the support of Glenmede. This dynamic conversation highlighted women at the cutting edge of the climate crisis who are engaged in multidisciplinary solutions that address both social and climate impact, including Vibrant Data Labs, One Earth, ERA - Ecosystem Regeneration Associates, Resilient Earth Capital, SXD, and Trellis Climate. Rachel spoke Time for Better Hope House alongside Bill Nye and Saad Amer about the enormous climate implications of the upcoming election, and spotlighted Climate Voters, the coalition she founded with Ela J. to elect leaders up and down the ballot who will prioritize climate solutions. We fostered new connections, facilitated remarkable conversations, and were proud to showcase the work of our partner, ERA - Ecosystem Regeneration Associates, which centers women at the heart of critical climate solutions, investing in them as key caretakers of communities and ecosystems. We emerged from these discussions inspired and energized in our joint efforts to end the climate crisis. Special thanks to Chante Harris, Sierra Quitiquit, and to all who joined us this week!
