Nature-based Solutions Trilogy
Wetlands host nearly 50% of the world’s biodiversity and they contain about 35% of the Earth’s terrestrial carbon, making them significant carbon sinks. Therefore, they are one of the most important Nature-based Solutions (NBS) for mitigating climate change, protecting biodiversity and delivering ecosystem services on a global scale. At Broadpeak, we collaborate with industry experts, […]
Nature-based Solutions Trilogy
We are facing multiple intertwined planetary crises, among them climate change, biodiversity loss and water security. Nature-based solutions (NBS) can make a significant contribution and forests serve as one of the largest and most cost-effective NBS in the form of interventions like conservation, reforestation, and sustainable land management. Ramping up NBS linked to forests is […]
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 […]
Green Hydrogen Trilogy
As the global push to fight climate change gains momentum, the demand for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries is growing. With limited options available for sectors where electrification is not feasible, green hydrogen is seen as a potential solution for a lower carbon future. To better comprehend the potential of green hydrogen in these challenging industries, we […]
Green Hydrogen Trilogy
The transport sector is one of the biggest carbon emitters worldwide. As the world tries to shift away from fossil fuels, green hydrogen is being touted as one key solution. Recently, many countries have adopted legislative proposals to decarbonize the transport sector by facilitating the uptake of green hydrogen. But does green hydrogen have the […]
Green Hydrogen Trilogy
At the recent COP27, green hydrogen was at the top of the agenda with various governments announcing ambitious new multi-million dollar plans to build plants, collaborate and invest in developing a global market. As global leaders search for the right building blocks to lead us away from climate-impacting fossil fuel consumption to more sustainable alternatives, […]
Climate Tipping Point Series
The Indian Summer Monsoon (also known as South Asian Monsoon) delivers 70-80% of South Asia’s annual rainfall between June and September, directly supporting agriculture that still employs 44% of India’s workforce and contributes over 15% of regional GDP. This atmospheric system underpins food security for over two billion people (>25% of the world’s population) across […]
Climate Tipping Point Series
The West African Monsoon brings essential rainfall to 300 million people across the Sahel from May to October, governing precipitation patterns from the Gulf of Guinea to the southern Sahara edge. This atmospheric system determines agricultural productivity, economic stability, and food security across a region where less than 1% of farmland has irrigation. Historical evidence […]
