We need to move hundreds of billions of dollars from those causing the climate crisis to those solving it. At Carbon Growth Partners we've made a start; in the past 3 years alone we have directed more than $200 million to climate projects in the global South. Waste infrastrcture in Senegal, mangrove restoration in Pakistan and Mexico, safe cooking in Malawi, DRC, Zambia and Ghana, forest conseravtion in Colombia and Brazil, clean energy in India and Uganda, methane recovery in Bangladesh and more. We know how to do this - not perfectly, and never alone. But with the right partners, we CAN do this.
NEED
The biggest challenge when trying to solve the most existential crisis in human history - it's tricky to choose just one. There's human psychology and evolutionary biology, apathy, entrenched interests, misinformation, political reality, soacila injustice, perverse incentives... But let's go for one that's solvable: leadership. Not government leadership, that's proven to be a bridge too far. Not individual leadership, that's vital but we need scale. But corporate leadership. We need to create the behavioural norm that it is morally, reputationally and commercially unacceptable to continue to pollute the atmosphere for free, even if it permitted by law. How?
Call-to-Action
Solving the climate crisis is actually not hard. We need to every influence every CEO of every company to commit to balancing their carbon books, by taking two simple actions: 1. REDUCE their company's emissions to the extent possible 2. INVEST in market-based solutions to offset what's left Buisness - like life - is better when it's balance: a credit for every debit, equal and opposite. Every tonne, every time. Help us make that case, tell better stories, reach the folks we need to reach and persuade them to do what's right.
