Grove Climate Group’s Post

Earlier today, President Biden signed an Executive Order to accelerate the speed of AI infrastructure in the U.S, launching a new wave of AI advancement and securing our country’s national security.   AI could either become our greatest ally in the fight to tackle the climate crisis, or an immense burden on the many challenges already complicating the fight - from the critical materials needed to produce next generation chips powering the AI revolution to our fragile electric grid infrastructure. We put this piece together in an effort to comprehensively look at the impact of #SustainableAI across jurisdictions and policy challenges. Thanks to Barrett Dollar and Miranda Miller for their thorough research, analysis, and writing on this. – w/ Clinton Britt

Some may find this useful in the early climate tech business. Right now, we have a grand London Climate Action Week on #LCAW2024, including the Breakthrough Energy Summit 2024, a Bill Gates-run climate tech accelerator catalyzing climate tech to reduce emissions. Here is an interesting find: check out the 12 Keys to Scaling Up for your climate venture. Essential for climate entrepreneurs. #TowardsNetZero

A new political climate is reinforcing the need for climate tech founders to build commercially ready solutions that are not reliant on government incentives or policy. A stagnant growth trajectory typically occurs because of friction on of these areas: 1. Friction in your strategy - including Problem-Solution Fit, Demand & Growth, as well as your Business & Revenue Model. 2. Friction in your product positioning - how well your product is positioned in terms of the quality of customer outcomes, its value proposition, and the scalability of your solution. 3. Friction in your execution - is your leadership, organizational design, and process structures set up for success. The time is now for climate tech companies to transform their purpose into profitability. If you need insight into ways to do that, we're here to help. -------------------------------------------- 👋 Hi, we’re Sightglass.

How can the planetary boundaries framework be applied to businesses? Downscaling the global framework to the scale of a company and assess its whole value chain’s impact on all nine boundary processes is, to say the least, a complicated endeavor. Lack of specific and reliable data is still a problem. But even though it is difficult to come up with exact numbers, it is better to be ‘generally right’ than ‘precisely wrong,’ I argue in this piece from Suston Magazine: https://lnkd.in/gHzKJaKY

Question - will the CSRD help us address all these nine boundaries? Where in the economy is there the greatest need to implement a framework like the one described below - where other frameworks can't reach? Fredrik Moberg any thoughts?

Geospatial finance, a transformative approach, integrates geospatial data into financial theory and practice, offering a powerful tool to address modern environmental and sustainability challenges. At its core is the use of satellite imagery, a key instrument in accurately mapping and monitoring the Earth's resources, ecosystems, and climate. Such imagery can provide valuable data and insights into the environmental impact of investment activities, assisting investors in identifying potential risks and opportunities, and tracking the effectiveness of sustainable finance initiatives over time.

Climate reporters need tools for investigating offsets. So do reporters who cover local politics, land management, business, and other beats that aren’t always steeped in deep climate knowledge. At CarbonPlan, we developed a tool called OffsetsDB, an open-access platform that makes it easier to find and compare data from five of the largest offset registries – more than 9,000 individual offset projects. On July 9, my colleague Grayson Badgley and I will be leading a webinar hosted by The Journalist's Resource that will walk reporters through the basics of how the offsets industry works and how to use OffsetsDB as a tool to aid your reporting. Research scientist Grayson Badgley and editorial lead Maggie Koerth will answer your questions and help bring some clarity to this increasingly important field. It's free to sign up, but you do need to register: https://lnkd.in/gYwyAtrE
