“We’ve been on a free subscription to nature for the last 3.5 billion years. Now it’s time to start paying for the benefits nature provides.” That was the message from Robert Gardner, Co-CEO of Rebalance Earth, as nature and nature-based solutions to climate change became the focus at our recently-held Transition Investment Summit in London. Together with renowned climate experts and leading voices in sustainable finance, he explored how nature’s emergence as a new asset class could provide a clear path towards building a net-zero world, while also offering investors a route to sustainable long-term returns.

We are past the #CWNYC halfway mark, with no signs of slowing down! 🤝 Yesterday, Ani Dasgupta from World Resources Institute announced the next accelerator from the Subnational Climate Action Leaders Exchange (SCALE) will be on buildings. Enter "ZERB": Zero Emission Resilient Buildings ZERB, aiming to mobilise resources for implementation at scale. 🌡️ 15% emissions from buildings comes from heating and cooling: can either be part of the solution or part of the problem. 🍪 Embodied carbon is like hidden calories - the late night snack we don’t think about but over time becomes a problem! Scott Tew Hard to abate sectors ➡️ possible to abate sectors ⛓ The business case has to work, to attract the massive investment needed to scale up solutions - requiring collective action across the entire value and supply chains - and cost parity is critical for mass uptake. Industry is collaborating to pool demand, and investing in technologies to help their decarbonisation pathways. Meaningful impactful change: from prescription driven to performance driven. From what is possible to what is scalable. Pictured: our insightful roundtable at Goals House covering the implications of #LocalLaw97, and the role of technology to help advance its implementation and improve existing building performance.
