🌍 Why climate action is only as strong as the narratives that underpin it 🌍 As #ClimateWeekNYC is in full swing, Climate Spring's Lucy Stone and storytelling expert Maryam Pasha reflect on the power of narratives in driving climate action, and what climate stories we need to tell at this moment in time. 🗝 Key takeaways: 🔥 Fear-based messaging is successful at raising awareness, but we need a #vision that inspires action and creates a sense of agency. The climate crisis isn’t just an emergency; it’s an unfolding, epic transformation story, and we all have a role to play. 🎬 Popular culture matters: From James Bond’s fast cars to romantic road trip movies, stories have long made us associate a fossil fuel-dependent lifestyle with freedom and independence. But what if we rewrote the script? By showcasing alternatives — like the freedom of biking or the adventures of train travel — we can challenge and replace these narratives. 🌱 The way forward: We're starting to see a new wave of cinema, TV and novels being developed by a growing number of creatives who want to tell the biggest story of our time. Remember, climate stories don’t have to be didactic or dystopian. They can be nuanced, hopeful, and embedded in genres we love—highlighting solutions, human resilience, and the benefits of building a sustainable future. 👉 Ready to dive deeper into how narratives can shape action?

Last week, Collaborative Fund joined forces with Climate Changemakers in service of hosting a climate Hour of Action in New York! 👉 We gathered an amazing group of folks across venture investing, non-profits, founders building climate-tech companies, and general climate enthusiasts to work on a shared climate action goal: cutting climate pollution while investing in communities. With folks on laptops learning, drafting, and chatting throughout the event space, we each submitted personalized public comments to DEC and NYSERDA supporting a comprehensive New York cap-and-invest rule that's in development! 👊 This game-changing program would account for all sources of GHG emissions and deliver 40% of benefits to disadvantaged and low-income communities. Attendees shared that they not only appreciated our efforts to bring together many people in venture (and plenty who were adjacent to it!) but also "It was such a refreshing way to build community and engage with local issues." Thanks to everyone who joined us! #capandinvest #newyorkevents #climatetech #venturecapital #climateinvesting #climateaction #climateaction

Silverado Chairman and Co-Founder, Maureen H. spoke at the Bipartisan Policy Center’s inaugural Climate and Trade Summit on July 10th. Maureen provided her insights on the “Border Carbon Design: Where Policy and Politics Meet” panel alongside Jane Fiegal of Stripe Climate and Frontier and George David Banks of Bipartisan Policy Center moderated by John Jacobs of Bipartisan Policy Center. Maureen laid out Silverado’s best practices for border carbon measure (BCM) design:  🚛They should be technically practicable for businesses to implement without increasing their compliance costs.  💲 They should avoid manufacturing taxes on US businesses before leveling the playing field, meaning overseas competitors are also paying.  🌎 Additionally, there should be incentives for international partnerships like a carbon club in order to make a BCM more internationally viable. Check out the full Summit recording and Maureen’s panel here: https://lnkd.in/em3VDXRi Read more about Silverado's views on Border Carbon Measures in our Compendium of Technical Notes: https://lnkd.in/eY8eK9sw

🙌 Here's something special from The White House: a first-of-its-kind Climate Resilience Game Changers Assessment. 🔎 This identifies 28 critical technologies, management practices, and institutional and financial tools that can drive transformative positive impacts that support US climate resilience while creating good-paying jobs, improving community well-being, and advancing environmental justice. ❓ The assessment says: 💬 "Investing in, developing, and implementing the Climate Resilience Game Changers will strengthen our health, environment, economy, equity, and security ... If implemented effectively and equitably, the Climate Resilience Game Changers can help communities avoid disruption and damage to human health and wellbeing. Investing in these promising and emerging technologies, practices, and strategies at early stages will enable their rapid deployment before, during, and immediately after disasters." The assessment highlights five Cross Cutting Innovations that are relevant for most sectors: 🌳 Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) 🛠 Information and Tools (ex. Next generation sensors) 🏗 Infrastructure (ex. Hazard resistant materials) 💵 Financing (ex. De-risking mechanisms like grants and credit enhancements) Check out the full report here 👇 https://lnkd.in/gxVMdB9B #climatechange #adaptation #resilience #climaterisk

"It's time." That's the apt theme of UN Climate Week kicking off today in New York. In climate, and across food and energy security, and health, justice and environment, "Water isn’t just a sector or an input—it’s an organizing principle (and opportunity!?) that unites the SDGs [Sustainable Development Goals], climate action, nature, and long-term business strategies." (World Economic Forum) It's time... and water can't wait. Looking forward to taking on these system challenges this week with the World Economic Forum, Dalberg Catalyst APCO futur/io Institute Microsoft's Entrepreneurship for Positive Impact Doconomy and so many other committed communities to design a new future for fresh water... and the water planet. 💧 Bridget Fawcett Mathias Wikström Antoinette Vermilye (she/her) Ranveer Chandra Anna Huber Rohit Adlakha Sonila Cook Jordan Fabyanske Judit Arenas Nicole Monge Diego de Leon Segovia Margery Kraus Rudolf Hilti Anne Bishop Shoup, CFRE Lyndsay Howard Ann Rosenberg Aurora Chiste Teuta Oruci FCCA Emma Benameur, MBA Cody Thomas Pope Merrill Brown Jessica Sweidan Yarrow Kraner Paola de Almeida Jeff Seabright Paul Polman Keziah Theresee Gerosano Saroj Kumar Jha John Dutton Sera Young Harald Neidhardt George Schuler Vector Center Circle of Blue #UNClimate2024 #Climate #water #watersecurity
