The TrimTab team prototyped the first corporate sustainability platform that empowers employees to take individual action on their climate impact priorities. 💪 The team: @MCQMorgan, @S4ADYOU, @nitini_
Over 70 Fellows from On Deck Climate Tech participated in an inaugural 3-week Build Sprint to make tangible progress toward a climate project or company, and we’re excited to announce the winners! 🎉Congratulations to Ribbit Network, Urban Resilience Venture Studio + TrimTab! 🎉
.@GernotWagner argues that the right way to think about climate mitigation is not through a cost-benefit lens, as though particular levels of spending avoid specific levels of damages, but instead as a kind of insurance https://t.co/xnB0i9Qn2v
Thrilled to share that I will be joining @beondeck's second Climate Tech Cohort! 🎉 #ODCT brings together the most talented startup and climate experts to build companies that innovate and scale solutions to climate change. Learn more at https://t.co/buUCqxKGVl @cammori
"There are pathways right now to decarbonization that limit us to 1.5°C... relying on technology that exists today. Dozens of teams and studies around the world have come to the same conclusion." - @MichaelEMann#ClimateVoices
The results are striking. We found that almost 30% of the credits we studied don’t reflect real climate benefits, representing about 30 million tCO₂e and a value of more than $400 million at recent market prices. (12/20)
New: New research shows that California’s climate policy created up to 39 million carbon credits that aren’t achieving real carbon savings. But companies can buy these forest offsets to justify polluting more anyway. https://t.co/DA2v3b225p
Companies committed to fighting climate change need to: #LobbyForClimate & engage the C-suite, pressure misaligned trade associations, align spending on civic engagement, act as a guide for sector-specific industry groups, & use their corporate influence. https://t.co/H0qVIrzFSc
Pressure is growing for the Biden administration to go bold on climate. The U.S. must reduce emissions by at least 50% by 2030. https://t.co/9p5mwa0pYm
Climate risk has not been priced into capital markets, and we need all companies to be held accountable to ensure the resilience of our global financial system.
What is corporate sustainability without transparency and accountability?? So great to see Apple leading this charge to advocate for mandatory climate disclosure rules from the SEC 👏👏
Very happy to see scope 3 included in this. Encouraging the right corporate incentives is crucial— outsourcing emissions won’t save us from climate change.

The science is clear. If we're going to limit climate change to 1.5°C, we need to act immediately. The Tech sector can go #AllInOnClimate by spending 1 in 5 lobbying dollars advocating for bold climate policies. Sign the petition: https://t.co/KEtGTWwxia
What’s the most underused tool companies have to fight climate change? Their political influence. Now is the time to use it. #AllInfor50 https://t.co/hIzoUGaIKj
