#Climateweek in New York is still a very vibrant event. Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) at NYU Stern School of Business. Pace no longer a race to sustainability but rather a more of walking to the top. Still compelling data shows that sustainable companies reporting to GRI-standards are more profitable. Peter Paul Van De Wijs Reception hosted by CGeneral @Erik Ullenhag gathered Swedish industry and networking. New Swedish minister of development Benjamin Dousa Dousa on aid for trade&green solutions. Breakfast w Team Sweden Business delegation and great presentation by AFRY Henrik Tegnér Spowdi CEO Henrik Johansson Tetra Pak Ragn-Sells IKEA together with The World Bank Bank on how to scale solutions and last mile distribution. Spent quite some time with Origination Osvald Bjelland at Columbia University gathering some of the most important institutions, investors on the gaps and opportunities for blended finance, w one day focusing on India Anita George Private capital now outpace public funding. More importantly, globally there is a gap of over $4-5T of development financing (UN 2023). Although this gap comprises just about 3% of $140T of Global Assets Under Management and about 4% of Global GDP, it is difficult to crowd-in this capital into the markets and countries that are most in need of it. Additionally, if ODA is used as a surrogate for capital available to crowd-in this investment through blended finance, it is only around 4% of the need at $224B in 2023 (OECD - OCDE 2023). I raised the challenges of scaling new technology and the need for more flexible funding solutions and common standards to lower barriers+investment community can do more to push free trade for environmentally friendly solutions. As usual, a lot of bilateral meetings and The World Bank Bank’s Global Water Director Saroj Kumar Jha and colleague Michael John Webster.

Ystad Summit gathers all sectors of society. Invited by Barnfonden ChildFund International to speak about our pioneering smart farming project in Kenya where Spowdi is currently shipping 50 systems. How do you scale to 50000 farms or even 500000? Blended finance, credits, article 6 and last mile distribution. The global institutions need to find more efficient ways bridge the gap between innovation and implementation and help our partners and mitigate business risks. There is a cost for inaction. Water is now on top of mind for decision makers. Martina Hibell on how children’s perspectives are at the core. Climate is seriously affecting their prospects. Ida Svensson Tetra Pak, serving millions with safe food and building a sustainable circular model. Per Löfberg Emerging Cooking Solutions with micro-gasification and pellets for cooking and also shares experience on the very administrative burdensome, but now, successful art 6 process.

#StockholmWorldWaterWeek started in 1990:s the wake of my generation’s biggest festivity; Stockholm Water Festival, fireworks, music, dance, and perhaps also this transition at the time of the end of the Cold War. But there was also a backdrop of a Baltic Sea in a dire situation and globally drought, floods and sanitation issues coming to the fore. So the idea of a world water week - gathering experts policy makers academy and industry to the capital - was born. Foundations were created to spur development. The Junior Water Prize where the next generation enter into a global innovation and R&D competition and 30 finalists and the winners come here to receive the prize from Crown Princess Victoria. (As ambassador to Chile I know what it meant for the Chilean team to qualify and meet peers and HRH some 10 yrs back, and in turn the Embassy could position Sweden). His Majesty the King is patron of the most prestigious prize in water selected by the Kungl. Vetenskapsakademien. The City Hall and the team around president of the City Council Olle Burell are presiding and hosting events with phenomenal professionalism. And for decades the executive arm of SIWI - Stockholm International Water Institute has created a outstanding program on different topics related to water. Of course I followed Spowdi’s presence and inroads into smart farming in Africa, Asia and Central America. Today water is a global topic at the center of our future societies with need of billions in investment in both developing and developed world, and with tremendous risks of conflict, food security and migration pressures. The winner from Japan Prof Taikan Oki brings world-renowned research on the virtual water trade, digital river mapping, and inclusion of human activity in the water cycle into the COP-process. Stockholm and Sweden has led this field with thought and purpose for decades and together we must build for the next 3 decades.

#almedalen 2024 - apart for perhaps #Ukraine not a lot of political energy making its way to the phenomenal set up of panels, seminars and mingles. Yet, no lack of topics and absolutely a decent crowd of people gathered with Visby’s postcard backdrop. Perhaps a bit biased towards my own priorities this year - finding partners that can bring green technology to the last mile in developing markets Spowdi and the democratic shining example of Engaging India - Content People with support of ambassador Jan Thesleff and Tan Lal PI Industries Ltd Rupali Mehra. Great to see political support from Ss Daniel Westlén. Also building a bit of continuous momentum for the mobilization of #standards - an area with considerable opportunities and at bit at crossroads.

Southeast Asia is home to almost 700 million people and collectively amounts to the fifth-largest economy in the world. Over the past two years, it has grown between 4-5 per cent, close to the growth of India (between 6-7 per cent) and at times exceeding that of China (between 3-5 per cent). BAPSEA. Pitching the idea to set up a Centre of Excellence in Smart Farming in South East Asia - a region with a lot of challenges in terms of water food climate ndc’s, but tremendous opportunities. Great to see ambassadors of Embassy of Sweden in Vietnam @Thailand @malaysia @indonesia Philippines Embassy Team Sweden presentations: Interesting section on Art 6, and remains a complex subject for small business.
