What we heard & saw at Climate Week along side our clients, placements and collaborators.
1. Done with Doomerism: Climate paralysis accomplishes nothing. Innovation is what pushes us forward. This week people were very positive – much more than in the last 18 months. Andrew Lowe
2. Sustainability is Value Creation: Sustainability initiatives aren’t a statement; they impact P&L. Kate Shattuck
3. Innovation: First-of-its-kind (FOK) projects are gaining traction in climate finance. Think about what your industry can bring to the table. Cheryl D'Cruz-Young
4. Upscaling & Upskilling: With more climate jobs than ever before, employers are investing in their employees through training, mentorship and clear, achievable benchmarks. James Sosnicky
5. Jack of All Trades, Master of Most: Climate action sits at the crossroads of engineering, governance, finance, and policy. An agile climate leader is fluent in all. Daniel Pulver
6. Translate Optimism to Action: While we all hope to do good, the question is how. There still is a shortage of operators out there. Peter Bogin
