There is a huge opportunity in carbon markets, but more trust is needed! 🌿 One of the key takeaways from last week's discussion on opportunities and advancements of voluntary carbon markets with Tarmo Virki on NatureBacked podcast series is the necessity for trust. 🎙️ However, this doesn't mean trusting blindly in the projects and solutions available. The voluntary carbon markets space is complex, with various methodologies, projects, and nuances. Navigating this market requires investing time in learning and understanding to avoid getting lost or overwhelmed to see and recognise impact and potential. For more insights, listen to the podcast episode below. 👇 PS! If you're not familiar with the NatureBacked newsletter and podcast hosted by the superb journalist and storyteller Tarmo Virki, with a keen focus on climate and sustainability, now might be the time to correct this error. ✨ With Anete Garoza #CarbonMarkets #ClimateAction #1MTN #Uganda

PODCAST | On the newest episode of Can Marketing Save the Planet, Gavin Sheppard and Robert Cheesewright from Pinwheel were interviewed about business opportunities in ecosystem restoration. As Gavin highlighted, these projects give "access beyond value chain mitigation projects which repair and restore our climate and ecosystems." They discussed how companies can reduce damage, remove legacy damage, and restore habitats now - getting ahead of consumer, investor, and regulatory pressure. Biodiversity initiatives also work hand-in-hand with decarbonization efforts. And the data and insights from such investments create value across acquisition, retention, collaboration, competitive positioning, sales, and profit. When businesses view biodiversity as a competitive opportunity instead of just an obligation, it fundamentally shifts their approach and unlocks creativity. This episode explores those strategic openings. Listen to the full episode - https://lnkd.in/e6rYi2P3 #biodiversity #sustainability #ecosystemrestoration Michelle Carvill, Gemma Butler

This week at Pimlico Strategy & Insights, we're starting a new Friday podcast series recommending a favourite listen from the team. This week it's a recent episode from the Climate Insiders podcast, hosted by Yoann Berno. The episode "Why Measuring Biodiversity is the Next Big Metric in Climate Tech," is a great listen and features Anna Alex from Nala Earth discussing the vital role of biodiversity in sustainable business models and the complex arena of nature reporting. As the asset management sector continues to enhance its climate strategies, integrating biodiversity metrics becomes increasingly crucial. Research by the World Economic Forum and Principles for Responsible Investment indicates that around $44 trillion of global GDP, derived from industries heavily dependent on nature, could be at risk due to biodiversity loss. Nature and biodiversity reporting is an important trend that we here at Pimlico are discussing with clients in 2024, and this episode is a brilliant resource for understanding the interconnectedness of nature reporting and how tech solutions are aligning with market dynamics. https://lnkd.in/enxJ8__A #AssetManagement #Biodiversity #Sustainability #ClimateTech #PimlicoInsights

Today is World Water Day- tune in to hear Water.org and WaterEquity Co-Founder & CEO Gary White unpack the global water crisis in the latest episode of the ESG Insider #podcast from S&P Global Sustainable1. Gary talks to me about the intersection of #water & #climate change; the role of #infrastructure in addressing water needs; and how #finance can offer solutions to the water problems facing many low-income populations around the world. “Even though these challenges are immense, they're inherently solvable — we know how to make water safe, we know how to distribute it," Gary says. "It's not rocket science in terms of doing this, but it is about investment capital that's needed." https://lnkd.in/e64NgqtZ Esther Whieldon #worldwaterday #sdg #sustainability #sustainableinvestment #innovation #solutions

🌱 Reimagining Tomorrow: Systems Thinking for a Sustainable World 🎙️ Conversations on Climate Season 3, Episode 19: Featuring Marc Buckley, Regenerative Futurist, recorded at the GVSE Malta 🗣️ “Leave everywhere you go a little better than you found it.” 🗣️ “We must move from the Anthropocene to the Symbiocene—working in symbiosis with the Earth and all living beings in collaboration, not competition.” THREE words to describe Marc Buckley 🌍 : • Visionary • Catalyst • Trailblazer FOUR things I learned: 1️⃣ Sustainability means thriving, not just surviving. True sustainability is about creating systems where nature and humanity thrive together in symbiosis. Forward-thinking, regenerative approaches are essential to tackle the multitude of challenges facing our planet. 2️⃣ We are all star stuff. Marc reminds us that we are all made of the same elements, formed from collapsing stars. We share the same origins with all living beings. 3️⃣ Disconnection leads to downfall. Like the fall of Babylon, where a ruler’s disconnection from his people opened the gates to destruction, societies and businesses fail when leaders don’t stay connected to the needs of those they serve. 4️⃣ Resilience beyond the SDGs. The Resilience Frontiers focuses on building systems to cope with the disruptions that will come from climate change, technology, and biodiversity loss post 2030. Hugely important, enormously challenging and well worth looking up. ONE question for you: What role do you think individual action plays in fostering a resilient, regenerative future? 🌍💬 🎬🔗👇 Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/eGXPGmGk Sabrina Agius Kathleen Schroeter Sarah Needham Federica Di Sario Dina Baenninger🇨🇭 Gareth Presch

Fascinating insights on systems thinking and sustainability from Marc Buckley's conversation with our CEO Chris Caldwell! The shift from Anthropocene to Symbiocene is a powerful concept - reminding us that true sustainability means working in harmony with nature, not against it. We love Marc's emphasis on leaving every place better than we found it. What resonates most is the connection between cosmic origins and earthly responsibility - we're all "star stuff" with a shared destiny on this planet. The parallel drawn between Babylon's fall and modern leadership disconnection is particularly relevant for today's business leaders. Looking beyond 2030, the focus on Resilience Frontiers shows we need to think bigger than current sustainability frameworks. We're not just solving today's problems, but building systems for tomorrow's challenges. Essential viewing for anyone interested in regenerative futures and systemic transformation!
