One of the more successful ways I've seen our team bond/engage/connect is thru our company book club at RWDI Ventures. It consistently generates vibrant discussion in a way that feels far less hierarchical than almost any other forum we have. I was asked recently for a book recommendation. It’s a book that too often keeps me up at night, and invades my early morning thoughts. It’s The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolbert. It’s a phenomenal capturing of compelling and irrefutable data points of how we're headed towards a sixth extinction event. The earth has seen five others of these events, and a key takeaway for me is that once the planet starts heading down a path of change, the single most valuable trait a species can have is resiliency. There's a lot we can collectively learn from that, both in the investments we make, and how we think about preparing our communities for climate change. # ClimateFirst Building Solutions #RWDI #Climate

“Your net-zero building will burn down just as quickly as your non-net-zero one.” Someone had to say it—and thankfully, Tania Caceres, CRM, SCR did. While decarbonization and sustainability are crucial, we can’t afford to overlook the importance of climate resiliency. A big thank you to MaRS Discovery District’s Climate Impact Conference for shifting the conversation and highlighting the critical role of climate tech solutions for adaptation. Two days with incredible leaders, investors, and innovators, speaking honestly about what needs to happen today. (Including this insightful panel featuring Natalia Moudrak, Katie MacDonald, Mike Williams and Tania Caceres, CRM, SCR .) #MaRSClimateImpact

It has been a jam packed #ClimateWeekNYC! And we are only half way done! Based on the conference rooms and headlines, the big buzz this year is on #climatefinance and #Carbonmarkets. Growing support for the power of high integrity markets to reduce emissions and flow finance across borders where it's needed most - developing countries and communities on the front lines of climate change. So many innovative market mechanisms on display! Bezos Earth Fund Center for Green Market Activation (GMA) IETA Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES)

The concept of "Stationarity" assumes that we can only visualize/imagine what we have seen or known; based on the past: history, successes, failures, past actors, etc. It reminds us that envisioning a better future requires effort, imagination, intention and understanding. For one of our RegenIntel group projects, we deep dove on a region; envisioning the most beautiful potentials. We chose #Lisbon, #Portugal. I focused on #regenerative #foodsystems, Lukas Fingerle focused on #oceans and Dustin Baldwin and Mike Etuhoko, P.Eng., M.Sc., MBA, CCB.D focused on #renewableenergy; all relative to optimized, ideal urban futures - which we now can easily imagine. We wanted to openly share our findings in case they inspire anyone else to share in our vision for a more regenerative, equitable, just future for all. Also, we welcome all ideas on how to bolster our efforts as well as those outside our scope. #regenerativeleadership, #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativetourism #sustainabledevelopment #sustainablecities #climateactionplan

Reflecting on the incredible discussions during our Climate Week lunch on "The Value of Ocean Data to the Private Markets." 🌊📊 It was inspiring to hear from industry leaders at the forefront of integrating climate data with traditional sectors like shipping, offshore energy, and disaster mitigation. The conversations showcased how digital innovations are not just theoretical — they're making a real impact, helping businesses and governments alike mitigate risks and drive climate progress. A special thank you to our brilliant speakers: Sarah Kapnick, PhD, chief scientist at NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration Megan McCullough Hart, PhD, CCRMP, global head of Analytics & Collaborations at Aon Aravind Ravichandran, the founder of TerraWatch Space Dan Hammer, managing partner at Ode And a huge thanks to our moderators, Kate Danaher and Jake Reznick from S2G Ventures, for guiding these important conversations. As we continue to advance climate solutions, the power of ocean data and Earth observation technology will be essential in shaping a more resilient future. 🌍 #ClimateAction #OceanData #Sustainability #DigitalInnovation #ClimateWeek #PrivateMarkets #ClimateTech

Why Do Big Companies and Investors Trust Geoskop? In 2023 alone, #climatechange caused economic losses of €229 billion (elEconomista). The past is no longer representative of the future!   Companies that rely exclusively on historical data for investment planning "are already predicting" and may not anticipate the true #climaterisks and its derived #impacts. At Geoskop, we surpass the #accuracy of traditional asset valuations. We’ve developed and validated proprietary algorithms beyond the current state of the art in #climateprediction, helping businesses minimize the impact of climate change. Climate is no longer a distant threat—it’s a business reality. Let Geoskop help you stay ahead.
