Discover specific topics covered at SXSW by browsing these regular LinkedIn posts. We look slightly below the expanding horizons for today's edition of this series, focusing instead on five sessions that cover the importance of healthy oceans for the future of Planet Earth. 1) Harnessing the Power of the Ocean: All-Hands-on-Deck: Our oceans are a precious habitat for millions of species, a vital carbon sink, and a key determinant of environmental and human health. This panel explores how public and private entities are working together to harness the full potential of our oceans. https://lnkd.in/gVRxCZbw 2) Investing in Our Oceans: Navigating Uncharted Waters: Join us as we explore why blue tech is a critical investment area for climate mitigation and resilience, clean energy, food security, and economic prosperity. We'll navigate how to work together to build an infrastructure of funding and support to bridge the gap between public funding and private capital. https://lnkd.in/gsv9KM7D 3) Making Zero Carbon Ocean Shipping a Reality: In this intimate fireside chat, Jan Dieleman of Cargill will share how this company is leveraging the power of wind to decarbonize the way they move food around the world. https://lnkd.in/gkzjUpun 4) New Blue Economy: Shifting Our Relationship with the Ocean: In this short form presentation, learn how the Tidal team is using AI to address sustainable seafood production and will inspire audiences to think differently about ways to solve environmental problems. https://lnkd.in/giSgSgjF 5) The Tide is High for Responsible Ocean CO2 Removal: This session spotlights the industry leaders who are pushing the limits of the ocean CDR (carbon removal) industry. Speakers will explore the innovations and political developments that will set the foundation for the future of the next wave of CDR solutions. https://lnkd.in/gViXB-H2 Find the full lineup for the 2024 Climate Change track below. https://lnkd.in/gCB8GiaF Or click here to browse the full schedule of all SXSW Conference content -- use the search bar at the top of the interface to locate exactly the content that you want to see. https://lnkd.in/gS4UExzc #sxsw, #sxsw2024, #oceans, #ocean, #oceanconservation, #cdr, #cdrservices, Monica Sack, #climatechange, #climateinnovation, #climatetech, Jennifer Garson, Professor Melissa C.

It is with immense pride that I announce CSI's collaboration with Climate Solutions Labs and CarbonCare InnoLab (CCIL) for an enlightening side event at COP29. Scheduled for December 20th, 2024, from 10:55 AM to 11:40 AM at the Children & Youth Pavilion, this event is titled "Tech for Tomorrow: Harnessing Innovation to Revolutionize Climate Action." Our primary objective is to ignite meaningful conversations about the pivotal role technology plays in addressing climate change. By examining the nexus of innovation and environmental stewardship, we aspire to inspire attendees to envision a future in which technology serves as a cornerstone for constructing a more sustainable world. This thought-provoking session brings together an interdisciplinary panel of experts who will delve into cutting-edge advancements and strategies for leveraging technology to propel climate solutions. Seize this opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, exchange ideas, and discover groundbreaking methods to make a tangible impact on the global stage of climate action. Together, let's forge a path towards a brighter and more sustainable future for generations to come.

💥 Join the Carbonfuture team at this year’s VERGE! 💥   📅 From October 28th to 31st, one of the largest events in the climate space will take place in the heart of Silicon Valley: San Jose, California. This year's theme, “Deploying Climate Tech at Scale”, emphasizes the urgent need to expand technologies that can address climate change effectively – including carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies!     Don’t miss the opportunity to connect with Craig Stokes and Mackenzie Audino and dive into how Carbonfuture drives the future of carbon dioxide removal! 🌱   About the event: VERGE is an annual event focused on climate technology, sustainability, and business innovation. The 4-day event serves as a platform for leaders and innovators to share their successes, challenges, and insights in implementing climate solutions, accelerating progress, and paving the way for others.    This year, VERGE expects to gather more than 6,000 leaders from across functions, industries, and sectors to discover what it takes to deploy climate tech at scale. 📈   Will you be in St Jose, California, too? DM Mackenzie or Craig to set up a time to meet!    #CDR #carbonremoval #sustainability #netzero #corporateclimateaction #climateaction #VERGE2024

I had the privilege of representing Ideon Technologies at Climate Week in New York City, where the challenge of commercializing clean tech to combat global warming has never felt more urgent. The gravity of the situation is clear – society must overcome its inherent resistivity to making the tough but necessary changes to achieve net zero. 🌲 The seismic impact of this week’s discussions is undeniable, creating a vibrant ecosystem of innovators, policymakers, and investors all committed to accelerating the energy transition. The magnetic potential for substantial triple bottom line returns is evident when breakthrough technologies are adopted at scale, even as we navigate the dense regulatory landscape. 🌡 Climate Week plays a crucial role in reducing uncertainty by bringing together a community of leaders focused on tackling climate change. Through collaboration, we’re able to bring the challenges we face into high resolution and work together to achieve meaningful outcomes. 🌎 #ClimateWeekNYC #VentureCapital #CleanTech #EnergyTransition #Innovation

Grateful to have been part of the 2024 Future of Climate Summit (Vol. II), where powerful conversations and visionary ideas took center stage. One of the key takeaways was the reminder that "we all want to be happy," and achieving that requires a holistic approach to the challenges we face. From discussions about the increasing complexity of our world to the need for smarter, more sustainable solutions, it was clear that we need to act collectively and share our successes globally. The summit reinforced the idea that collaboration and storytelling are key to replicating positive outcomes in other parts of the world. Now, more than ever, we need to show the path forward and work together for a resilient and greener planet. Feeling inspired by the incredible people I met and the actionable ideas shared. Time to turn this momentum into meaningful impact!
