Innovation is thriving in response to the new and unique challenges created by climate change. One of the final events CMI was proud to co-host at the Monash Pavilion at COP28 was a climate tech fastpitch, in which innovative start-ups pitched their ideas to an engaged audience.

On Wednesday, Kita CEO and Co-Founder, Natalia Dorfman will be at Carbon Unbound, speaking on a panel that will investigate how to unblock financing flows to channel meaningful investment towards CDR projects and technologies. We see insurance as key to the solution; helping to manage risk and capitalise on emerging opportunities. Natalia will be speaking alongside Brian DiMarino, Head of Operational Sustainability at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and the session will be chaired by Kim Zou, Co-Founder and CEO of CTVC. This discussion feels extremely timely, following on from our recent event, co-hosted with CO₂RE - The Greenhouse Gas Removal Hub, which explored the financial mechanisms required to establish, develop, and scale the GGR Sector. Carbon Unbound promises to be an extremely interesting couple of days. Here are a few other highlights that the Kita team will be checking out: ➡ Julie GOSALVEZ, Chief Marketing Officer, Climeworks talking about "Framing the Narrative" - an increasingly important part of the solution to help more people and companies understand not just the environmental imperative for carbon removal but also the business case; ➡ "Perspectives from the Global South" - how do we ensure we build equitable projects with robust safeguarding mechanisms in place while also enabling projects to scale? ➡ "Black Gold: Betting Big on Biochar Carbon Removal" - we see huge potential for biochar here at Kita so we are excited to listen to the views of Henrietta Moon, Hannes Junginger, Radhika Moolgavkar, JD and others. Plus a range of fascinating campfire sessions, including: ➡ "Bridging with Structured Financing: Structures & Considerations" with Jeremiah Lim, CFA and Kirren Senivassen at Barclays. ➡ "The Case for Nature: Its Role in Durable CDR" with Siddarth Shrikanth at Just Climate. ➡ "Shared Bottlenecks in Non-Bio and Bio CDR Technologies" with Pina Fritz, PhD and Noah Geeves at Deep Science Ventures ➡ "Buyer’s Perspective on MRV Quality" with Annie Guo and Katie Sierks at Microsoft The full agenda is here: carbonunboundeurope.com. Let us know if you will be attending!

Last week's GenZero Climate Summit was a deep dive into carbon markets, climate tech and the broader decarbonisation ecosystem. Some insights from the event:   🚀 Climate Tech 2.0: Today’s climate startups are more focused and choosing to tackle specific climate challenges. Furthermore, the alignment of asset classes with bespoke funds tailored for these climate startups reflect a matured understanding of the sector. However, the lack of climate tech regulation (within and across countries) hinders growth, emphasizing the need for clearer compliance standards and incentives for these companies.   🌍 Carbon Removal Technology: The panels explored various Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies including Direct Air Capture (DAC), biochar, and ocean-based methods. Integrating these technologies into existing industries and systems is key to increasing their effectiveness. E.g. In carbon intensive steel manufacturing using biochar in the electric arc furnace process could further cut emissions. 💲 Enhancing CDR Financing: Scaling these crucial technologies requires solid financial strategies including investment grade off-take contracts to secure the necessary capital. Assurance on the quality of removal technology (and the corresponding CDR credits) and that social/environmental safeguards are met is needed to build investor and market confidence.   ⚖️ Legal Aspects of Carbon Markets: The legal framework for carbon markets is still in its formative stage. Legal experts are drawing from various fields to shape the governance of Voluntary Carbon Credits (VCCs): · Parallels to fintech regulation when dealing with intangible assets like VCCs, where existence equates to entry into a register · Ainsworth test for property law could also be used to define VCC characteristics: definable, identifiable, permanence and stability I'm grateful for the opportunity to attend this year's summit and looking forward to more conversations around the ever-evolving climate space! #GenZeroSummit #ClimateAction #CDRTechnologies #ClimateTech

The future of our world and industry hinges on our ability to put our money where our values are. “A big reason is that nearly US$7 trillion in public and private finance was directed to companies and economic activities in 2022 that caused direct harm to nature, while only US$200 billion was directed to so-called nature-based solutions, or NbS—investments that protect, conserve, restore, or engage in the sustainable management of land and water ecosystems, as defined by the United National Environment Assembly 5, or UNEA5, the report said.” We are expected to do more with less, and this motivates me to the max. Discovering and fostering the most transformative ideas, strategies, tools, and tech is a personal 2024 goal. #Winning Abby Schultz asks, will it be enough? (https://lnkd.in/e_H_nH9V) My answer is, It has to be, we have no other option. What are you all most excited and passionate about for this year? #ImpactInvesting #FoodTech #Agritech #ClimateChange #Sustainability #Partnerships

📢 New Briefing: Is European #CleanTech on track for net zero?   Today, #ECNO released a briefing shedding light on the progress on clean technologies, which has so far been too slow to be consistent with the EU #ClimateNeutrality target. In the briefing, ECNO emphasises the need for strategic investments in cleantech.   📆 Next Monday, on 20 November, MEPs will cast a decisive vote on the Net Zero Industry Act #NZIA, shaping the future of EU’s the cleantech sector. ECNO's briefing underscores the urgency for a coordinated European investment response to prevent disparities in cleantech development.   🔍 Key Messages:   1️ From #Research to #Patents: The EU has a world-leading research infrastructure, which forms the foundation for future cleantech leadership. But action is needed to translate this research into patents and foster innovative start-ups. 2️ #InnovationGap: Launching innovative cleantech start-ups demands significant investment. While the EU has a robust venture capital ecosystem for seed funding, bridging the financing gap requires EU financial instruments like the Innovation Fund. 3️ #PublicFinancing: Private investment in EU cleantech, particularly mature technologies, signal growth. However, achieving the NZIA’s ambitious envisioned scale demands more investment. Public finance should play a crucial role in scaling up manufacturing and attracting private capital. 4️ Cleantech #Inequality: There is a risk of unequal cleantech development within Europe if public funding for green innovation is not shared across EU.   🔗 Read more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eqHGpEie   This briefing was authored by ECNO expert Ciarán Humphreys.   #EUClimateAction #EUClimateNeutrality #GreenTech #NetZero #Innovation I4CE - Institut de l'économie pour le climat / Institute for Climate Economics Cleantech for Europe European Parliament
