@climate_ben This is so awesome. What did you use to draw this?

[Simas 🇺🇦🌱 @simmygrade]

Real proud to join @clim8collective!

Having just joined, I'm so impressed. The quality bar that folks at the collective have set for programming or external (and even internal!) comms is supreme.

Looking forward to learning from/with some of the brightest folks in the space.

We are thrilled to welcome #BloomLabs to the @clim8collective !

Nature finance can feel like a foreign language, even for experts. Bloom Labs, founded in 2023 by Simas Gradeckas, cuts through the jargon and delivers clear and concise insights for all, whether you’re new to nature markets or a seasoned biodiversity professional.

Check out the latest resources published by Bloom Labs:

📊V2 of the voluntary biodiversity credit schemes database, recently updated to 52 standards and methodologies from across the globe.

🗺️V1 of the voluntary biodiversity market stakeholder database, featuring 450+ market actors from MRV developers and funders to NGOs and consultants.

✍️Op-eds and deeps dive into the structure of biodiversity credit markets – are they assets or commodities? https://t.co/mGgiB4gmfD

On a personal note, at Climate Collective we take our responsibility as climate and nature communicators seriously. We have a growing audience and a voice and are keen to lift the important work of our community in an effective way. Simas Gradeckas is really good at doing just that - and we’re therefore extra excited to welcome him to the Climate Collective! We have a lot to learn from each other.

Striking paragraph from The Overstory that I read last night

Techno optimism will only get us so far

Sooner or later, all climate data that matters will live on chain

[Prof Julia Steinberger @JKSteinberger]

Unpopular opinion: There are two tendencies that are, by themselves, devastating indictments of our entire civilisation.
The first is gardening for aesthetics rather than biodiversity. Our landscapes are deathscapes and we call them "pretty", WTAF.

[Simas 🇺🇦🌱 @simmygrade]

Where there is an industry with many consultants, there is opportunity

[Simas 🇺🇦🌱 @simmygrade]

Hm okay so maintaining larger streams of real-time data to be as decentralized as possible is indeed really difficult

Who would've known 🤷‍♂️

[michael mezz @michaelmezz]

@curious_founder i share your skepticism. but i've been working in the industry & learning a lottt.

imo best argument for them:
they're the best mechanism we have today for funneling corporate $ into climate action.
that's a big deal!

do they have problems? yes
are the problems fixable? yes

Have never been in an event with more positive vibes. And I used to be an event organizer :))

So so grateful for it 💚 Still buzzing with energy

[John Ellison @iamjohnellison]

Such an amazing dinner AFTER @ReFiLisboa under a lemon tree beside flowering jasmine.

So grateful to have a vibrant community forming around an emerging vision of regeneration here in this place. A

[Simas 🇺🇦🌱 @simmygrade]

The deeper I dig into carbon markets, the more it's clear that dMRV is the biggest bottleneck.

We solve that, we solve trust

[Simas 🇺🇦🌱 @simmygrade]

goosebumps.

[John Ellison @iamjohnellison]

Wow.

How to Be At Home in The World by Charles Eisenstein goes straight to the heart of the crisis of our time.

Such a powerful movie. Would love to watch this at the @ReFiDAOist house at @EthereumDenver next week…

Anyone else down?

[Simas 🇺🇦🌱 @simmygrade]

Quite sad to see that atm there's more people interested in direct air capture than nature-based solutions.

Permanence isn't everything and the solution doesn't have to be fancy to work

[Simas 🇺🇦🌱 @simmygrade]

@wojtekwtf just wait until 25 🙂

[Simas 🇺🇦🌱 @simmygrade]

@ReFiDAOist @KERNEL0x Exciting, looking forward to it!

Already in the discord:)

[Simas 🇺🇦🌱 @simmygrade]

Am I the only here checking if @KERNEL0x & @ReFiDAOist's Founder's Circles have opened applications for their new batches every other day? 🫠

1/3 🚀 We are beyond excited to introduce carbon forwards to the world, together with @VlinderClimate

Carbon forwards allow pre-funding of climate projects that are still in development for a reduced price.

Only 0.45% and 0.75% of all issued NCT & BCT has been retired.

For on-chain digital carbon market to take the next step, we need increase this %.

More orgs/people (consistently) retiring, less people looking at it purely as an investment.

@yasharnejati Engaging lats help with stability & hence strength for ohp. Have you tried focusing on it?

Also, if you have really long arms like myself, ohp progress will never catch up to other lifts hehe
