🌍🚀 Exciting news in the fight against climate change! Arbor Energy just signed a multi-year agreement to deliver 25,000 tons of permanent carbon removal to Microsoft, starting in 2027. This partnership will not only help Microsoft achieve its ambitious climate goals but also generate 5 MW of clean electricity— ⚡️enough to power around 4,000 US homes 🏡. Arbor’s innovative modular system turns organic waste into a source of carbon-negative power, addressing both emissions and energy needs 🔋. This agreement marks a significant step towards scaling our technology and realizing a future where clean energy and CO2 removal go hand in hand.

🌱 Another highlight from #NewYorkClimateWeek was attending "Japan’s Long Game: Business Lessons for Climate," hosted by ENND PARTNERS and kyu Collective. A simple takeaway: there is no Plan B. 🌏 In the West—especially in the United States—our culture is driven by the idea of limitless growth and expansion. There's always "another patch of land" or a new market if things don’t work out. Japan, on the other hand, has a profound understanding of working within the limits of finite space and resources, treating what they have as sacred. A powerful moment during the panel was when they discussed an owner of a tea house (with a legacy spanning 140 years) being asked about his planning horizon. His answer? “The next 140 years.” 🌳 This long-term loyalty to one's piece of this planet is exactly the mindset we need to adopt to transition to a sustainable future. 🌱 A big shoutout to Marukome USA Inc., Japan’s largest miso producer, and Shuta Aoki (5th generation at Marukome) for pioneering sustainable, plant-based products—some of which were showcased at the event! 👏🥢 Thank you to Tim Brown, Shuta Aoki, and Masanobu Iwabuchi for a truly inspiring panel. 💡✨ #Sustainability #ClimateAction #BusinessForGood #JapanClimate

One of the highlights from #NewYorkClimateWeek 🌎 was attending OnePointFive (opf.degree)'s insightful panel, "Bridging the Sustainability Skills Gap: How to Build Your Climate Workforce." 🌱💼 A key takeaway from Efrem Bycer, LinkedIn’s Sustainability & Workforce Policy lead, was the importance of embedding green skills across the entire workforce—not just within a dedicated sustainability team. He shared a powerful example: when the Third Avenue Bridge, linking the Bronx and Manhattan, got stuck halfway open due to overheating machinery amidst record temperatures. A specialized sustainability team wouldn't have prevented this incident, but engineers trained to understand climate impacts and trends might have. 🌞⚙️ Huge kudos to Neil Yeoh and Matthias Muehlbauer for their amazing work! Be sure to check out their playbook, "Stop Searching for ‘Sustainability Unicorns’: Master Green Skills with Our Expert Playbook," linked in the comments. 📘🔗 #ClimateAction #SustainabilitySkills
