Last night, I overheard a discussion at Tivoli Food Market in Copenhagen. A group at the next table was debating whether Denmark, being such a small country, should even bother going green. The argument? Our impact is tiny compared to the big players. I disagree. What we do matters. But they also had a strong point: If we want to make a real difference, our solutions must scale. Denmark has a history of innovation—think wind energy, district heating, and cycling infrastructure. But the real power comes when these solutions are designed for global adoption. It’s not just about what works for Denmark; it’s about creating models that the rest of the world can use. The green transition isn’t just a national effort—it’s a global one. And if we, as a small country, focus on scalable solutions, we can have an outsized impact. What do you think? How can small countries best contribute to global sustainability? #Sustainability #ScalableSolutions #GreenTransition

GREEN KNOWLEDGE, BEST SEEDS FOR THE FUTURE Two weeks ago, the Valencian Community suffered one of the most tragic days of recent years with the flash floods. The core principles of prevention, proactiveness and coordination has been critical under these tragic circumstances, where every minute matters. Life goes on, and this week we welcomed a group of chinese executives from ADBC, as speakers. Congrats Marta García de Alcaraz from KNOHAO LTD., LLC for managing a trully compelling #GreenAgenda: BIOCOMERCIO, Climate-KIC, Caixa Popular, Comité de Agricultura Ecológica Comunitat Valenciana, Fundación de Estudios Bursátiles y Financieros, Fundación Cajamar. In my case, it was a big pleasure speaking about the Valencian Community as a financial centre, its importance for Valencian-based global private banks and about sustainable finance instruments for european SMEs. Sustainable finance has a key role to play in delivering on the policy objectives under the European green deal as well as the EU’s international commitments on climate and sustainability objectives. It does this by channelling private investment into the transition to a climate-neutral, climate-resilient, resource-efficient and fair economy, as a complement to public money. The European Union strongly supports the transition to a low-carbon, more resource-efficient and sustainable economy and has been at the forefront of efforts to build a financial system that supports sustainable growth. Now that I´ve time to catch my breath, it seems like a great idea gathering European and Asian financial professionals for networking. All together starting to get ahead about sustainable finance and best organic farming. My grandfather used to say that once in your life you need a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman and a preacher but every day, three times a day, you need a farmer. Organic farming respects the world and prepare us for the best future. #Asia #EuropeanUnion #Export #Organicfarming #Sustainablefinance
