Addressing
climate change &
energy transition
The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported that we have limited time to act if we are to stay below a 1.5°C rise in average global temperatures. Failure to do so will be devastating, both for social and political security as well as financial stability. To ensure a sustainable future for all, we have to do better.
We advise and guide corporates and their leadership, invest in innovative start-ups and scale ups and collaborate with organizations such as the UN, the WEF Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders, CEO Action Group for the Green Deal, the Global Center on (Climate) Adaptation, the World Bank and the IMF, to support the transition to more sustainable and inclusive climate and energy systems.
Darwin International invests in and advises and advocates on:
Mitigation: emission reduction (roadmap to net zero), transparency, carbon (price) policies, innovations and consumer behaviour.
Adaptation: building resilience via best practices in agri-food and water systems, cities and infrastructure. Increasing adaptation finance and needed innovation.
Fairness: create awareness for disproportionate inequality in effects of climate change and importance of financial support for vulnerable countries.
Nature-based solutions to counter climate change, such as carbon and heat sinks.
Circularity, clean oceans and biodiversity.
Science and technology-based innovative solutions, including biotech.
Fair carbon market system, addressing both mandatory as well as voluntary markets.
Adapt
Act
Impact
Like Darwin, we believe that adaptation is the key to being successful in a changing world. Adaptation in our thinking and behaviour, while being open to paradigm shifts. Our current habitat is under serious pressure. So, the question is: how will we make the change and adapt in time? Collectively as a global society, as companies, and as individuals?
