Exciting developments are happening at the intersection of weather and climate forecasting! For years, these fields operated in separate lanes - weather focusing on tomorrow, climate on decades ahead. But their convergence is revolutionizing how we predict our planet's patterns. By combining the immediate precision of weather forecasting with climate models' long-term insights, we're unlocking game-changing possibilities: 🌱 Farmers can make smarter seasonal decisions 🏗️ Cities can better plan resilient infrastructure ⚡Energy companies can optimize renewable forecasting 🏢 Businesses can assess both immediate and long-term risks Want to dive deeper into this transformative integration?

The year was 2052, and the world was grappling with a crisis. Not war or famine, but water scarcity. The once-abundant resource was dwindling, and tensions were rising. Enter Alex, a young entrepreneur with a brilliant idea. He had spent years studying the problem, and he believed he had found a solution. His invention, a revolutionary water purification system, could extract clean drinking water from even the saltiest seawater. The potential was staggering. With global demand for clean water skyrocketing, Alex's invention could revolutionize entire industries. He envisioned a future where water scarcity was a thing of the past, where clean water was accessible to everyone, everywhere. But bringing his invention to market was no easy feat. He needed massive investment, cutting-edge technology, and a team of experts. He pitched his idea to venture capitalists, government officials, and even international organizations. The response was overwhelming. Investors saw the potential, governments recognized the urgency, and the world was eager for a solution. Alex's company, AquaSource, quickly became a global sensation. With their support, Alex and his team built state-of-the-art water purification plants across the globe. They partnered with governments to ensure equitable distribution, and they worked tirelessly to bring down the cost of clean water. AquaSource became more than just a company; it became a symbol of hope. It represented the power of innovation to solve humanity's greatest challenges. Alex, the young entrepreneur with a dream, had changed the world.

🌳🙌 'Investing in nature is essential, attractive and feasible.'

"Investing in nature is essential, attractive and feasible." That's the key message from the report, 'Investing in Natural Capital: Innovations Supporting Much-Needed Financing for Nature', which UpLink - World Economic Forum was proud to launch today at #SDIM24 alongside the World Economic Forum’s Nature Action Agenda and 1t.org and Mercuria. Natural capital underpins the entire global economy, and provides a range of critical benefits to humanity. Despite this, the value of #nature is not currently accounted for, while it‘s destruction is incentivised at the expense of economic growth. To address this imbalance, we must close the #biodiversity finance gap. 🌿🐘🍄 The report spotlights innovations in four key areas that are unlocking finance for natural capital, and includes examples from around the globe of where this innovation is already having an impact. Here's a video Tabea Jacober and I made on the report, featuring our colleagues and report authors Allison Voss and Shivin Kohli. Congrats also to Jaideep Salil and Ronald Tardiff who also authored sections of the report. 📖 Read the full report to learn more: https://wef.ch/4ectOmR #impactinvesting #investinginnature #innovation #startup #climateweek #SDIM24 UpLink - World Economic Forum ARC Marine® Barka Courageous Land Funga GroundUp Conservation Intrinsic Exchange Group Open Forest Protocol Pivotal Future terratai
