Germany's weekly Die Zeit magazine addresses solar #geoengineering in a brand new article. It is of course too early to conclude whether the risks of such an approach outweigh the benefits. But the fact this is raised in a balanced way in a mainstream paper is remarkable. It is another sign that humanity needs to find new answers to Climate change - especially #adaptation and possibly other means. For more information one can read Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner's piece on solar Geoengineering in their 2011 book "Superfreakonomics". #climateadaptation #climatechange https://lnkd.in/eWtmmXjm

Unfortunately, given the shocking outcome of the European #elections, adapting to climate change will now be even more important, especially with the expectation that right-wing coalitions may hinder our climate aspirations. #adaptation The Shift - 1st Corporate Climate Adaptation Conference (Nov 6th)

"Committed to improving the state of the world"  What does it truly mean? For over 15 years as a #sustainability consultant, it seemed clear: I focused on environmental protection, advanced policies to safeguard stakeholders, analyzed portfolios to eliminate hazardous substances, developed corporate strategies, calculated ESG business cases, and collaborated with organizations to accelerate change. Just before Greta Thunberg entered the global stage, I began to question if we were on the right track. While sustainability professionals engaged in fatalistic discussions, companies often spent their resources on glossy, high-level "green" papers rather than making tangible improvements. My personal #Shift moment came during a water strategy project for a large corporation. They wanted to understand the impact of emerging water scarcity on their product portfolio and profits. Despite identifying billions of euros at risk, they prioritized decarbonizing a few tons of CO2 instead. Now, with enough CO2 already in the atmosphere to drive climate change for decades, even if we turned off all the lights tomorrow, we must rethink our approach. Yes, we need to mitigate climate change with the right technologies and policies to ensure a livable future. But we also need to protect people, communities, and value chains from the immediate and severe impacts of climate change. Tackling a hotter, drier, wetter, windier climate requires new approaches and solutions beyond just reducing CO2. That's why I am now focusing on #adaptation and helping companies become more resilient with DSR & Partners - The Climate Adaptation Advisors. For me, "Improving the state of the world" today means prioritizing climate adaptation, because it is urgent, as we see it daily across the globe. Greetings from Geneva and the inspiring conversations at the World Economic Forum See you soon The Shift - 1st Corporate Climate Adaptation Conference (Nov 6th). (Next #TheShift roundtable is on June 17th in Hamburg)

Let‘s meet in #Hamburg on June 17th. #ClimateAdaptation #Resilience
