🌍 From Mexico's forests to India's farmlands – here's how we're making carbon removal work for communities worldwide 🌍 Our thesis is simple: climate = social impact. When you invest in climate resilience, you invest in people. That's why we partnered with Opna to create catalytic impact in the world's most climate-vulnerable areas. These aren't random locations—they're our fastest-growing markets and, simultaneously, the regions facing the greatest climate risks. It's where impact matters most. 🌟 Let's breakdown the impact: 🇲🇽 Mexico - Protecting forests with EcoForestCO2 while creating jobs and preserving biodiversity 🇮🇳 India - Turning agricultural waste into biochar with Carboneers, boosting crop yields and empowering women farmers 🇧🇷 Brazil - Dual approach with 2x NetZero biochar + InPlanet's rock weathering for healthier soils 🇵🇭 Philippines - Alcom's biochar solution turning waste into agricultural gold But here's what really excites me: Every single project created jobs. Every one improved local economies. From women-led leadership in India to enhanced crop yields across three continents, we proved that climate action and community development aren't just compatible – they're inseparable. This is what climate solutions look like when they're designed with people at the centre. Not just removing carbon from the atmosphere, but building stronger, more resilient communities in the process. #ClimateAction #CarbonRemoval #SustainableDevelopment #CommunityImpact #ESG

95% of businesses are failing at climate transition planning - don't be one of them. Only 5% of companies reporting to CDP provide adequate details on funding their climate transition. This isn't just an environmental problem - it's a competitive disadvantage. Here's why robust climate transition planning matters: ↑ Better access to capital ↑ Stronger business partnerships ↑ Enhanced investor relations ↑ Improved long-term resilience ↑ Strategic competitive edge Companies that align sustainability strategies with: • Capital expenditures (CapEx) • Operational costs (OpEx) • R&D budgets ...are positioning themselves to thrive while others struggle. The business landscape is changing. Investors and financial institutions now consider transition risk assessments in their decision-making. Are you prepared? Organizations like SBTi, CDP, and Climate Action 100+ offer tools to assess credibility and track progress. Use them to strengthen your position. Don't be left behind in the 95% that fail to adequately prepare. Start building your comprehensive climate transition plan today. What's your biggest challenge in developing a climate transition plan? Comment below! 🔄 REPOST to help others. 👉 Follow me for more such posts.

How should sustainability professionals prepare—without burning out? A lot of sustainability professionals I know are carrying two heavy truths at once: 1. The pace of change is nowhere near fast enough. 2. The world around us is increasingly unwilling—or unable—to prioritise sustainability. We’re in a phase of geopolitical fragmentation, economic volatility, and cultural revaluation. The capital isn’t flowing the way it did. Budgets are tightening. Long-term thinking is being deferred in favour of short-term survival. > And yet we know: a 3 degree hotter future is still in play. This is where it gets hard—because the urgency hasn’t gone away. But the political and financial tailwinds have. --- So how do we plan over the next three years? Not just the next framework, fund cycle, or strategy refresh—but the three years ahead of us, with all their contradictions. Here’s what I’m holding: 🔹 Focus on high-impact reduction, not just targets We may not have the capital for everything—but we can still push for emissions reductions where it moves the needle most. Let’s not confuse perfection with impact. 🔹 Plan for a warmer, more volatile reality We can’t afford to build as if 1.5°C is guaranteed. We need to design portfolios, places, and supply chains for volatility—climate, financial, and geopolitical. 🔹 Recognise capital pressure—and work with it Where the capital goes may not align with climate or justice. But we can still design for resilience: unlocking co-benefits, reducing operational risk, and embedding value in context. 🔹 Support each other—professionally and personally The exhaustion is real. So is the grief. We’re going to need new forms of collaboration—inside firms, across sectors, and within ourselves. --- > Sustainability now means preparing for a future that may not support it. So take care of your capacity. Align your work with what can still shift. And speak honestly about what’s no longer viable—so we can focus on what still is. Because adaptiveness may no longer be optional. It’s becoming the foundation of meaningful sustainability. #Sustainability #ClimateAdaptation #CapitalMarkets #Resilience #ClimateStrategy #Finance #LeadingFromTheEdge
