An incredible achievement! 🎉🌍 Congratulations to Big Valley GmbH — We can't wait to see the incredible impact, vision, and dedication of the Ag360 Climate Fund come to fruition regarding the role of #biochar to combat climate change and enhance resilience for smallholder farmers in developing countries. The future of biochar looks brighter with your leadership! #ClimateAction #CarbonRemoval
After a thorough and highly competitive selection process, we’re delighted to present the five outstanding fund managers joining the 2024 Cohort of the ICFA - International Climate Finance Accelerator. Not only are these forward-thinking individuals dedicated to addressing climate change head-on and driving positive impact in diverse regions across the globe, they are also part of the most competitive Cohort to date, where we received 66 applications. Let’s meet the members of the ICFA 2024 Cohort: 🏆 Agri Frontier supports the growth of Agri SMEs across East & West Africa by offering investment together with capacity building support via their Agri Growth Hub accelerator. They help address the Missing Middle while also driving action on gender equity and climate mitigation, adaptation and resilience. Their vision is to build a sustainable, inclusive and productive agriculture sector in Sub-Saharan Africa. 🏆 Big Valley GmbH is a pioneering investment advisory firm, backing solutions to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and inclusive global food system. Big Valley invests predominantly in circular business models and carbon removal technologies and practices that not only tackle climate change mitigation, but also support climate resilience for smallholder farmers in developing countries. 🏆 Miarakap deploys innovative financial mechanisms to reduce pressure on biodiversity and foster climate resilience in Madagascar and the least developed countries in the Southwest Indian Ocean by supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs dedicated to sustainable resource management, innovative climate solutions, and community development. 🏆 Outrigger Impact is an innovative blue economy impact solution that provides capital and capacity to projects in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The blended finance solution Outrigger has developed addresses the unique climate, environmental, social and economic challenges that the SIDS face by identifying successful business models, transferring expertise and aggregating projects to scale them up and crowd in additional private capital. 🏆 Scalar International exists to unlock institutional funding to support the emergence of first-tier, Indigenous, and women-owned businesses that contribute towards a sustainable and inclusive future through clean energy and digital technologies. They encourage the financial sector to participate in decarbonization strategies and digital transformation that leads to accomplishing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Congratulations to these outstanding fund managers, we are very much looking forward to work together to solve the planet’s most pressing issue – climate change! #ClimateFinance #ImpactInvesting #Accelerator

Biochar is Booming… 💥 Here’s why it’s getting so much attention from climate researchers and project developers: First, the trend: In 2020 there were less than 1,000 tonnes of biochar-linked CO2e removal units (tCO2e) ➡ which grew to 34,000 tCO2e in 2022 ➡ and to 65,000 tCO2e in 2023. This rapid growth in production is set to continue through the 2020s… 🚀 To complement the launch of the Manual for Biochar Carbon Removal that we created with International Biochar Initiative, we have written a blog breaking down the recent biochar explosion… The blog covers: ⚡️ The recent history of biochar and its current growth trends and scalability ⚡️ Biochar’s impressive carbon sequestration abilities ⚡️ The elements of a successful biochar project and more... Right now, biochar projects are proving to be an attractive value proposition for developers looking to join the carbon market. Here are the resources to learn more: ✅ Read our quick and accessible blog here: https://lnkd.in/eVi7qEkD ✅ And be sure to download the FREE comprehensive e-book designed for anyone wanting to learn more about biochar and the #CarbonMarket: https://lnkd.in/gh2B7nwa Enjoy this kind of content?
