Climate change exacerbates gender inequalities and hampers adaptive and mitigative efforts, requiring comprehensive systematic changes in societies, families, institutions, and governance. According to the UNFCCC, women's involvement in climate initiatives leads to more sustainable policies and increased community resilience. The #ReSeaProject is adopting a feminist approach, promoting gender equality, social inclusion, and the empowerment of marginalized groups. #Inclusion #GenderEquality #ClimateAction

🌊 Recap from NYC Climate Week: The Blue Tech Startupsphere! The Blue Tech Startupsphere event at NYC Climate Week, hosted by 1000OS members Seaworthy Collective and Washington Maritime Blue as well as {CODENAME: E-LIXR}, demonstrated the energy and momentum behind ocean innovation.

So much has happened since the DLD Conference Munich where one of my co-founders and personal genius Danford Danford got together to listen to, meet and speak with diverse group of business leaders, world-class scientists, artists and designers, startup founders and investors – with one goal: to unlock innovation for a sustainable future. To Dr. Nicola Rodewald and the goodcarbon team, Alexander Thamm, Niko Leon, Mathieu Wellner , Jonathan Ledgard and Kaja Wasik covering deep concepts of interspecies money - our brief moments of exchange have awakened us at Coastal BioTech Ltd to a wider world of possibilities. To our fellow future makers, entrepreneurs Karl M. and the Alganize Team, Felix Kleemann and Paul Höhn from MITIGATE I look forward to shaping a sustainable future with you all. Lastly, our sincere personal gratitude to Nikola Baumschlager and Roman Werner from TUM Venture Labs for the endless guidance, and for making the path feel much lighter.
