🛬  NTC Anchor Memberships Director Paula Palermo was featured at the Point Zero Forum earlier this month in Zurich...but her panel wasn't the only crowd favorite! PZF built an amazing intersectional summit for AI, digital assets, and ESG and we wanted to share our favorite panels and topics from the retreat.👇 🔗 You can also read PZF's recap and major takeaways: https://hubs.ly/Q02HLMg00 "Future Shapers - Mandating change, or changing mandate: can EU regulations succeed in greening global supply chains?" Featuring Alexander L.C. Stevens of Greenomy, Cameron Plese from the RSPO, Judson Berkey of UBS, and Pamela Mar from the Digital Standards Initiative. "Future Shapers - The evolution of ESG data: sourcing, application, and value creation" Csaba Kandrács of Magyar Nemzeti Bank, Leiming Chen from Ant International, Lorenzo Saa from Clarity AI, Marion Leslie from SIX, and Annabel Nelson from CDP and Co-Labs took the audience on a comprehensive, forward-looking journey. "The S.O.S. (Sustainability of Sustainability) cents on the dollar: How fares the promise of investor-led sustainability?" Didier Rabattu of Lombard Odier, Elena Philipova from the London Stock Exchange Group, John Goldstein of Goldman Sachs, Lise Pretorius from Matter, and Carolina Minio-Paluello, PhD of Arabesque AI led an honest discussion into the success of investor-first sustainability. "Blockchain & ESG: Creating positive impact with blockchain technology" The Cardano Foundation sponsored a special session on the collaboration potential for blockchain and ESG - with representatives Alexandre Maaza and Frederik Gregaard adding their institutional insights to this transition. "Laying foundations for scalable markets in trusted and granular data for green reporting" Nature data is a key focus here at the Nature Tech Collective, and we were excited to see a strong showing of support for this panel. We wanted to recognize speakers Alexandre Kech from the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), Alicia Montoya from Swiss Re, Andre Kudra of esatus AG, Esther An from City Developments Limited, Jo Gilbert from GSMA, Ken Forster from Momenta VC, Lionel Wong from the Green Fintech Office, Martin Rauchenwald of Arthur D. Little, and Pepijn Rijvers from WBCSD. "The critical link: How green fintech can help corporates integrate climate and nature into their sustainability strategies" Not to show favoritism - but we particularly enjoyed our panel and the conversation held on the intersectional capabilities of fintech, nature, and climate. Thank you to Gerrit Sindermann from the Green Fintech Network, Gwen Jettain from Pelt8, Jamie Batho from the Landbanking Group, Linnette Price of Syngenta, Michael Gloor of Correntics, Peter Paul Van De Wijs from GRI, Richard Probst from Climeworks, and Virginia Castellucci from 3Bee for joining Paula Palermo and NTC on stage! #naturetech #naturefinance #esg #supplychain #sustainability

Mindblowing moments captured in #Kenya. But did you know there is a $700B funding gap for biodiversity and nature loss? #Fintech startups that move impact funding to protect #nature and the planet are a vital part of the NbS ecosystem. #Crowdfunding democratises access to finance for early-stage projects by connecting individuals or organizations directly with a community or crowd of investors willing to support their nature-positive initiatives through affordable yet meaningful contributions. It allows actors to directly contribute to environmental projects and provides an alternative source of funding for innovative solutions. The Nature Tech Collective released this year the Nature Fintech Sector Map ( link in comments). It highlights the growing creation of subsectors in this space. While I have personally witnessed the boom and bust of cycles in remittances, embedded finance and Banking-as-a-Service solutions, all heated markets where clone companies continue to emerge with little tweaks, the real need in the #fintech space is addressing #nature #climate #sustainability #planet IMO.

🌳 🤝 The European Commission's Green Deal represents an ambitious and complex pathway to shaping the first climate-neutral continent. However, adopting these goals and reaching no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050 will require rapid, informed change. Recognizing this potential barrier, CircuLaw has drafted a powerful new tool to identify ongoing legislation across 11 key industries. 👇 View the tool below and share to raise awareness! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/djxd9MVH #naturetech #regulation #EU #eugreendeal
