Blue Economy Trilogy
Oceans constitute the planet’s largest ecosystem, covering 70% of the Earth’s surface and hosting 80% of all life. Oceans also generate 50% of the oxygen we breathe. While the oceans’ biodiversity is essential to global economic growth, SDG 14 focusing on ocean conservation remains the least funded. Transitioning to a blue economy is imperative to […]
Blue Economy Trilogy
The oceans contain the largest untapped source of renewable energy, with offshore areas harbouring around 80% of the earth’s wind resources. Capturing this energy could enhance economically sustainable long-term development and play a pivotal role in the world’s emerging blue economy. Harnessing marine renewable energy to its full potential is also crucial in the transition […]
Blue Economy Trilogy
More than 90% of the planet’s marine stocks are fully exploited, overexploited, or depleted. Yet, oceans serve as the primary source of protein for over 50% of the population in least-developed countries. Furthermore, the sustainability of fisheries is crucial for global food security, supporting the livelihoods of 10% of the world’s population. At Broadpeak, we […]
Gender Equality Trilogy
Women face a 14-fold higher risk of mortality or injury during climate-related natural disasters compared to men. They represent 80% of people relocated by climate change. Climate change is not gender-neutral and women are disproportionately impacted. It is essential to acknowledge that women can play a pivotal role as agents of change in the battle […]
Gender Equality Trilogy
Women account for 47.7% of the global workforce. They produce between 60 and 80% of the food. Yet, they earn only 35% of the income and own less than 20% of the land. While it is widely acknowledged that achieving gender equality is integral to development and the reduction of poverty, significant gender disparities persist […]
Gender Equality Trilogy
Gender equality is not just a goal. It is the key to achieving sustainable development, economic growth, and the alleviation of poverty. To have a realistic chance to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we must empower women across all dimensions. Gender inequality is a transversal topic and a major barrier to achieving several SDGs. […]
Nature-based Solutions Trilogy
Test-Excerpt
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, […]
