Tech-based Solutions Trilogy
Construction alone accounts for 40% of global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. As the global push to reach Net Zero gains momentum, bio-based buildings are seeing a renaissance with mass timber being touted as a key solution to accelerate the transformation of construction towards carbon neutrality. At Broadpeak, we collaborate with industry experts, impact-driven investors, […]
Tech-based Solutions Trilogy
It becomes increasingly clear that reducing emissions will not be enough to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. As per IPCC estimates, we also need to remove around 6 billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air every year by 2050 if we want to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. This is […]
Tech-based Solutions Trilogy
As global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions continue to rise, it’s becoming clear that we need an increased focus on tackling the emissions of tomorrow through complementary Technology-based Solutions (TBS). To meet climate goals set forth by the Paris Agreement, we must first reduce emissions. One contested solution that is gaining traction, specifically for reducing unavoidable […]

Climate Tipping Point Series
Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the Earth’s surface, yet sustain 25% of marine biodiversity and directly provide support to over 500 million people worldwide. Coral reefs, among several other coastal ecosystems, represent one of the most crucial ways oceans contribute to climate change adaptation. However, they are susceptible to reaching a tipping point, […]
Impact Fund Manager Series
The early microfinance revolution dramatically improved global access to financial services, especially credit. People previously excluded from formal credit systems were given opportunities through microfinance institutions, receiving small loans that allowed them to start businesses and attempt to increase financial security. Yet, decades later, the issue of credit access persists, as only about 1 in […]
