Early on, we recognised that the key to effective climate action lies in incentivisation. For example, McDonald’s introduced the Monopoly game as a promotional incentive, allowing customers to collect game pieces from their purchases for a chance to win prizes. This strategy not only boosted foot traffic and sales but also created a fun, engaging experience that kept customers returning. In some years, the campaign saw over 100 million game pieces distributed in the U.S. alone. Incentives have a proven track record of motivating individuals and organizations to look beyond the status quo, reducing friction in adopting new technologies, products, and lifestyles. That’s why, as we develop our climate solutions, we’re focusing on designing incentives that align with our partners’ values and engage their stakeholders. Our tech-enabled products are all set to: 🎮Incorporate game-like elements to make sustainability more engaging 🎮Highlight measurable impacts so users and organizations can see the tangible benefits of their actions 🎮Facilitate climate-positive choices through seamless integration into everyday decision-making By creating the right incentives, we empower brands and enterprises to drive meaningful behavioural change toward sustainability.

Climate action is not a zero-sum game. We believe that every organisation and brand in the climate space plays an essential role in addressing climate change. When we work collaboratively, we build a stronger, interconnected ecosystem capable of driving real, scalable impact. Research shows that collaborative networks lead to accelerated climate progress. For instance, studies from the World Resources Institute reveal that climate initiatives with multiple stakeholders achieve impact at scale by pooling resources, expertise, and networks—reaching more communities, supporting more climate projects, and fostering collective accountability. We see our peers not as competitors but as partners in the journey towards climate resilience. With more people, brands, NGOs, and organisations engaged in this space, we are amplifying efforts and ensuring that impactful climate action is not just a goal but a standard. Let’s move beyond competition and turn intent into collective action that creates lasting change. 💡 If you’re a brand or organisation interested in collaborating with us, get in touch with us at www.climes.io #Climes #ClimateAction #CollaborationForClimate #Sustainability #CollectiveImpact #NetZeroGoals

What started as a vision to make climate action accessible has now grown into a transformative movement. Over the past three years, with the partnership of 70+ visionary brands and the actions of over 230,000 conscious consumers, we’ve reached an important milestone: neutralising 4 million kgs (4,000 tonnes) of CO₂e emissions. Every small action, every conscious choice, and every commitment to sustainability has brought us closer to this achievement. From collaborating with Gen-C brands to creating solutions that empower individuals and enterprises alike, this milestone underscores what’s possible when collective action meets purpose. But it’s not just about numbers—it’s about the tangible impact. Each kilogram of CO₂e neutralised symbolizes forests safeguarded, clean energy projects funded, and communities uplifted. And this is just the beginning. Together, we are weaving sustainability into the fabric of daily life and paving the way for a climate-positive future. To everyone who’s been part of this journey: thank you💚. Let’s continue turning climate ambition into meaningful action. Next milestone: neutralising 10M kgs (10,000 tonnes) of CO₂e emissions💪 #Milestone #Climes #Sustainability #ClimateAction #NeutralisingCarbonEmissions 📷 Source: https://ecomotion.us

Climate is not a matter of intent or action—it’s fundamentally a financial challenge. We believe the capital required to drive transformative climate solutions is available, yet it remains locked within systems focused on short-term gains. Climate action lacks "ROI appeal" for traditional stakeholders, as its returns aren’t captured in quarterly profits but in something far greater: the stability of our planet and quality of life for generations to come. Despite this perception issue, according to Global Market Estimates and Spherical Insights, the global decarbonisation market is set for exponential growth, projected to expand at a CAGR of 12.7% between 2021 and 2026 and reaching multi-billion-dollar valuations by 2032, with an accelerated CAGR of 14.27% from 2022 to 2032. And this is just a small glimpse into the vast ocean of climate opportunities. Climate action is the investment opportunity of our time. Unlocking this capital is essential to creating scalable, impactful change that endures for generations. It all comes down to building economic models that value both short-term profitability and the long-term health of our planet. Climes is doing its part by redefining the financial incentives associated with climate change to make every action and every transaction count. #Climes #ClimateFinance #ClimateAction #ROIAppeal

Over 10 million weddings are set to take place across India this wedding season. Now, imagine the collective impact if every couple chose to make their celebration climate-positive. Each wedding, from the venue to the decor, generates carbon emissions. At Climes, we help couples discover and offset their wedding's carbon footprint by supporting verified carbon avoidance and removal projects. For example, we had partnered with The Wedding Brigade in the past, where we guided couples through the process of neutralising their wedding’s emissions, creating an engaging experience for both the couple and their guests. We neutralised a total of 26,250 Kgs of CO2e for 3 couples. Through this collaboration, sustainability became an integral part of their wedding experience, turning a beautiful occasion into meaningful climate action. Read more about this collaboration here: https://lnkd.in/dsrxN7Jb This wedding season, let’s try to make our celebrations a climate-positive one. Visit us at https://climes.io/events to learn how we can help you neutralise your wedding’s carbon footprint. #SustainableWeddings #ClimatePositive #EcoFriendly #ClimateAction #WeddingSeason #Climes #CarbonNeutralWeddings

Today marks an exciting new chapter in our journey. 🎉 In June 2021, Climes was born with a mission to accelerate finance into Climate Action. Over the past three years, we’ve worked with customers, brands, enterprises, climate financiers, and project developers to shape solutions that drive impactful change. Now, with a sharpened focus, we’re evolving into two independent entities: 🌍Climes, led by Anirudh Gupta, will focus on enabling brands and enterprises to discover and offset their carbon footprint to bridge our world’s climate-finance gap. 🌱Equilibrium, led by Siddhanth Jayaram, will focus on pioneering carbon removal solutions in the Global South by channelling both commercial and concessional capital from enterprises, carbon financiers, and impact institutions. This move allows both teams to operate leaner, communicate with greater clarity, and maximize our impact across the climate ecosystem. While the paths diverge, our vision remains united: accelerating the flow of finance into Climate Action. We’re deeply grateful for the trust and support from our partners, investors, and team. As we move forward, it's Day 1 for both Climes (www.climes.io) and Equilibrium (www.equilibriumearth.com) —ready to continue driving impactful change and innovation in the world of climate action.
