Democratizing Climate Tech investing 🌍 | Investing in breakthrough climate innovations💥 | Podcast Host at Climate Insiders 🎙️
Did you know there’s a fungus🍄 that eats plastic🥤? Last month, scientists discovered a strain of fungus from plastic debris in the ocean that can break down the most common marine plastic, polyethylene 🤯 This breakthrough got me thinking – could this discovery revolutionize how we handle plastic waste? This is super exciting, but still in the early stages. There’s much more research to be done: measuring how much plastic is broken down, identifying the byproducts of this process, and more. Investing in natural solutions is crucial, as traditional methods often add more toxins to the environment. For example, in 2024 we invested in Novobiom, a company using fungi to clean polluted soils sustainably. 🌱🔬 Their work highlights how leveraging nature’s solution, can play a crucial role in making our world cleaner and more sustainable. Share this incredible discovery to be a part of the solution! #PlasticDegradation #Biomimicry

🚨 Alarming Disparities in Bystander CPR Survival Rates 🚨 Recent findings reveal that Black women are at a significantly higher risk when it comes to surviving after bystander CPR compared to White men. 🏥 🔍 Key Insights: Disparities in Survival Rates White men are 41% more likely to survive after receiving bystander CPR, while Black women only have a 5% greater chance of survival. The study reveals significant disparities in the effectiveness of bystander CPR, with Black women having far lower survival rates compared to White men. While White men who received bystander CPR were 41% more likely to survive, Black women only had a 5% greater chance of survival compared to not receiving CPR at all. Study Scope: The analysis covered over 623,000 patient records, indicating a substantial sample size. Approximately 40% of these patients received CPR from bystanders, typically non-professional responders such as family members or passersby. 🩺 Effectiveness of CPR: Bystander CPR generally increases survival rates by about 28% 📈, but the benefit varies significantly by race and gender. The quality of CPR, along with social and cultural factors, seems to play a crucial role in these disparities. 😔 Cultural Hesitations and Discrepancies: Cultural hesitations and discrepancies in CPR training may be contributing to these shocking disparities. 🚺 Cultural Hesitancy: There is a noted hesitation to perform CPR on women, particularly due to concerns about modesty and the physical challenges associated with CPR on women, who are often perceived as more fragile. ⚖️ Racial Disparities: The study highlights that Black individuals, particularly in Black and Hispanic communities, do not receive the same benefits from bystander CPR as other groups. This could be due to variability in dispatcher training and the availability of resources in these communities. 📚 Importance of Representation and Training: The study underscores the importance of improving CPR training and representation in underserved communities. Increased efforts by organizations like the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross are focused on enhancing outreach and education in these areas. The stark 5% survival rate for Black women compared to White men's 41% after bystander CPR reflects systemic inequities that have long placed Black women on the wrong side of the glass ceiling—and now, the glass cliff. Addressing this critical issue is about dismantling the deep-rooted barriers that have historically marginalized Black women and denied them equal opportunities for survival and success. https://lnkd.in/dYThunKz by Nia Mclean Gillian Marcelle, PhD Dr. Susan Swayze UCLA PhD, Duke MBA Elizabeth Leiba Kimberly Bryant Mike Green Dr. Aaron Smith Shari Dunn Dr. Venessa Marie Perry 💪🏾 #HealthEquity #SystemicChange #SupportBlackWomen #Blackstoriesmatter

As our planet's health takes center stage, a rising number of investors are directing their attention toward the #blueeconomy. The blue economy encompasses a range of economic activities that unfold in the ocean, including fishing, aquaculture, renewable energy generation, and tourism. With our oceans covering over 70% of the Earth, their health is paramount to our survival and prosperity. 🤖 As #AI tools become more prevalent, harnessing the power of AI to measure and optimize #KPIs for blue economy investments is becoming increasingly important. Here are a few notable examples: 1️⃣ 𝙎𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜: AI algorithms are being used to analyze fish population data, leading to more sustainable fishing practices. 2️⃣ 𝙍𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮: AI is optimizing the placement and operation of tidal and wave energy converters, maximizing energy output. 3️⃣ 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: Through AI-powered monitoring systems, we can better protect endangered species and critical habitats. 4️⃣ 𝙎𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝘼𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚: AI is transforming aquaculture with predictive analytics for disease prevention and yield optimization. 5️⃣ 𝙀𝙘𝙤-𝙏𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙢: AI-driven insights are helping to balance tourism with conservation efforts, ensuring sustainable growth. 🌟 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙄𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 Integrating AI into the blue economy not only fosters sustainable development but also opens up new avenues for innovation and growth. As an investor, entrepreneur, or enthusiast in this field, the potential for impact and return is immense. 👥 𝙅𝙤𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 I am really interested in leveraging AI for sustainable development, particularly in the blue economy. I'd love to connect with like-minded professionals, innovators, and thinkers. ---- Follow me for more insights on the Blue Economy #AIForGood #SustainableDevelopment #MaritimeInnovation #InvestInOurPlanet #TechForChange #climatechange #climatesolutions
