I hesitated to post about The Radical Fund's participation at #NewYorkClimateWeek 2024 and #UNGA. There are already so many meaningful, comprehensive and thoughtful accounts of the dialogues of 6,500+ global stakeholders across 1000+ events that happened that week. Since coming back to Southeast Asia, I have realised that what is even more valuable than taking part in the week itself, is what happens after it. The actions, commitments, alliances, collaborations (and yes - more dialogues!) that emerge across the world are, in my view, ever more helpful than any COP. Top 3 actions we are taking on, as a direct result of NYCW 2024: 1️⃣ Increasing the participation of #SoutheastAsia in #NYCW2025. We have made a commitment to partner with one of SEA's leading Agri stakeholders to do this together. It was disappointing to not have had more Southeast Asian climate visionaries in New York this year. C'mon SEA! 2️⃣ Inspired by Serena O.'s Fin-Erth dinners and Sophie Purdom's #FemaleFounders & Funders event in NY, we are developing something similar for SEA for #women in VC. Reach out if you're interested in partnering on this. 3️⃣ Closing the gap between early-stage and later-stage VC. Learning from TPG Rise folks, we are on a mission to solve the #climatefinancing gap for climate ventures in SEA. If you're a key player in, or have been working on #blendedfinance, #venturedebt or similar innovative instruments - we'd love to collaborate with you. Are you in Southeast Asia and attended NYCW2024? Would love to hear your thoughts on the above.  #unlockingsolutions #climatemitigation #climateadaptation #collaboration

🌍💡 Embracing Interoperability: The Evolution of Carbon Markets 💡🌍 The landscape of carbon markets is rapidly evolving, with a significant shift towards fungibility and interoperability. What does this mean? We (at the SoHo Global Climate Fund) spoke with leading climate fund manager, Charles Bedford of Carbon Growth Partners, to shed light on this important trend in the carbon markets. It's about creating seamless connections between compliance and voluntary markets, allowing for the exchange and recognition of carbon credits across borders and sectors. This trend marks a pivotal moment in our collective efforts towards combating climate change. By enabling carbon credits to be fungible and interoperable, we're fostering a more efficient and scalable approach to carbon pricing and emissions reduction strategies. Companies and organizations now have greater flexibility to participate in markets that align with their goals. #CarbonMarkets #ClimateAction #Fungibility #Interoperability #Sustainability #Innovation #GlobalImpact

On May 2, 2024 REFASHIOND Ventures: The Industrial Transformation Fund convened people from around the world for Supply Chain & Industrial Transformation: The Next Generation 2024 at the JP Morgan Chase Palo Alto Technology Center in Palo Alto, CA.

It is especially ideal for small restaurants, grocery stores, and other retail merchants since they do not need any technology or software expertise to get set up on the platform - they can be up and running in minutes." Shipday is a startup in our portfolio at REFASHIOND Ventures: The Industrial Transformation Fund.

A fascinating piece in the NY Times-Breaking News today using research and data enumerating the impacts of #climatechange...not just the #enviornmental impacts we all see and feel, but the social and economic. An excerpt..."an empirically nuanced understanding of climate damages makes it even clearer that reducing emissions aggressively makes cost-benefit sense, not only because we want to insure against total ecological breakdown (cue “extinction rebellion” and “tipping points”), but also because the economic costs of even “noncatastrophic” warming may be considerable." #Recommended reading for today: https://lnkd.in/g3StXccV #decarbonization #gigacorn #gigacornhunter #optimist
