Ethic reposted this
🌲 On Wednesday we kicked off a monthly salon at the Align Impact NYC office with a thoughtful guest list a conversation on "What Does it Mean to Invest in Nature?" alongside our partners at Ethic, Johny Mair and David Sternlicht 🌲 We started the conversation with all 25 attendees sharing an answer to "What does nature mean to you?" in 30 seconds or less. The answers were beautiful and grounding and reminded me how important it is for us to continuously go back to our "why". The 'why' is what drives our team at Align Impact and it's what drives our clients to be bold enough to consider more intentional ways of designing their investment portfolios to address broken systems. Not spot solutions. Driving systems change by showing up fully. So, LinkedIn community, what does nature mean to YOU? 💫 I shared that for me, nature has meant baptism. I immerse myself and come out refreshed, renewed, hopeful, peaceful. I reflected on a 4-day hike I did through the Himalayas in the midst of dealing with serious health issues- I think the joy on my face speaks for itself and reflects the power of nature to heal.

This week we are highlighting some of the key learnings we gathered from the Hollywood Climate Summit for wealth advisors, investors, and fellow media professionals communicating about this vital issue. -Unlock understanding through curiosity. Science communicator and (in his words) “famed mechanical engineer” Bill Nye emphasized the importance of curiosity in fostering understanding. "We are in charge of a whole planet, we need to manage it," he said. "That takes understanding, and understanding takes curiosity.” Climate change can be a hot button and alienating topic to dive into. It may be more effective to begin by finding out what your audience is innately curious about and connect with them on that level. -Leave cynicism at the door: Vulnerability and action. The producers and hosts of the Drilled podcast partnered with the Carmack Collective on a panel on the role of big business in climate disinformation. Here, panelists collectively stressed the importance of vulnerability in environmental communication. "The two places that don’t require action or vulnerability are hopelessness and having your head in the sand," one speaker noted. Embracing vulnerability is challenging but essential for genuine engagement and meaningful action. The pathway to vulnerability begins with leaving cynicism at the door and creating a space where hopeful and constructive conversations around impact can take place. -Use simple equivalencies. In a panel on effectively communicating about a clean energy future, Jennifer M. Granholm, U.S. Secretary of the Department of Energy, was joined by director Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman). While the pairing was unexpected to say the least, we did glean a valuable piece of advice that we already emulate at Ethic — the use of simple equivalencies to make complex topics more relatable. One example Secretary Granholm used was to explain the building of solar capacity “in terms of Hoover dams." Tangible, familiar equivalencies can help the public grasp the scale and impact of renewable energy projects. This approach can demystify technical subjects and make them more accessible to a broader audience.
