Is industry funding of nutrition science a good thing and should this affect the way we think about our investments in food companies?

Companies were invented to unite individuals and achieve great things for society. Why does this laudable goal get corrupted and how can investors avoid the sinners?

Growth at all cost cultures often fail to consider the negative consequences of growth. What can we learn from history to avoid these risks? #ImpactInvesting #ESG #Meta #Facebook

The ‘over-powered’ oil era is ending.

For the last century, #oil has been 'Totally OP'. But the era when #petrostates and #BigOil wield huge geopolitical power is coming to an end.

Who will rule the future?

Fish farming companies are very popular impact investments.. but are they sustainable? The industry has a very interesting history.. and it's not always pretty.

We would be shocked by the abundence of wildlife if we travelled back in time.. what should we invest in to get some of it back?

Rewilding (Part III) - Surprising and counter-intuitive investment lessons from nature https://t.co/jnAlQ3xt4d

[The Impact Manager @CraigBonthron]

Perceived conflicts with commercial agriculture and controversies over animal reintroductions are often overstated, creating huge missed opportunities.

Rewilding is potentially the ultimate positive-sum activity. #ESG #rewilding #impactinvesting

Before we invest in nature, we need to understand it. In the fast growing area of '#naturalcapital', huge value can be created by those who do. Here's a few things i've learned in recent years.

#GenAI could be wonderful, disasterous or both. History teaches us that a failure of regulation as new technologies emerge can have far reaching and irreversible negative impacts. Where are we and how can we minimise the risks of negative outcomes?

Focusing on asymmetric incentives and regulatory capture, the second of this two parter looks at how the chemicals industry 'self-regulated' itself and why a different approach wasn't taken.

#JevonsParadox is becoming a common refrain of #fossilfuel incumbents and degrowth environmentalists alike.

Is it an intractable problem or a surmountable challenge?

Biodiversity loss is a huge and underappreciated business risk.

Why is it so often ignored?

Poorly regulated markets that have high returns on scale and a vulnerable customer base have a habit of becoming very convoluted and distored by perverse incentives. This is a perfect case study in point.

This is a positive story about the history of innovation in #diabetes management. We've come a long long way from finger sticks and glass and metal syringes. Who drove the innovation and who has created economic value?

The concluding part of my clean-tech fallacies series summaries a variety of false narratives and how to spot them. Most of them are cynical and deliberately misleading.. so you always need to be on the lookout 👀
