? Climate Collective are delighted to welcome Nathalie Flores as an advisor. She has a wealth of experience as a climate diplomate to share with the community! ? A specialist in sustainable development policy, environmental governance and climate change diplomacy, Nathalie has spent over 15 years shaping low-carbon strategies and GHG emissions reduction policies across the Dominican Republic's government and the Latin America and Caribbean region. #latam ? Nathalie brings a unique understanding of the UN Climate Change process - at a time when policy and markets are at a cross-roads. Her experience includes senior technical and administrative roles at the Secretariat of the Coalition for Rainforest Nations, where she provided legal assistance to over 50 countries in carbon market negotiations and supported GHG inventory training for the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector. Nathalie also served as Director of Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation at the Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources from 2020 to 2023. “Supporting others, simplifying complex systems, and driving action brings me the most fulfillment” Nathalie says. “I’ve come to understand that owning your path—no matter how unconventional it may seem—is a vital part of the #transformation we work toward every day in the #climate movement.? “Lean into what lights you up, embrace the unexpected, and NEVER forget why you started. The journey is as much about personal growth as it is about the outcomes we strive to achieve." "Take this moment to breathe, recharge, and prepare—because #COP30 Amazonia is just around the corner” ? Nathalie recently transitioned to the private sector to drive opportunities and manage risks in commodity trading, and shaping solutions for a greener present and future as StoneX Group Inc., Inc.'s Vice President of Carbon Markets. In her new role she is responsible for key partnerships with corporations and governments and aligning with international developments to enhance regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.

???? London calling - with several climate and nature tech events next week. Climate Collective is a community partner of the tech.eu summit 25-26 March 2025 at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre. We're planning on listening to investors, entrepreneurs and market makers to get a sense of the direction of climate tech innovation in Europe in coming years. Over the last couple of years, EU has become a global powerhouse in advancing climate solutions. However scaling technologies and navigating shifting policies will be two major hurdles going forward. Curious to hear speakers like Agata Leliwa Nowicka Malin Posern David Frykman Alexandra (Ali) Morrow Christian Hernandez Gallardo Manuel Vicente Steffen Ehrhardt and others. See you there? Register on the link below ???? Ps. We have 4 complimentary tickets left - if you're a community member hit us up on DM and will get your name on the list. Irmak Acar Simon Bar?n?

Many Climate Collective community members have participated in these consultations in some shape or form. Great to see this revised net-zero standard. Let's be honest - if we get this right we can meaningfully bend the curve.. so far however the net-zero space has been plagued by complexity, flip-flopping and media-fall outs. Take a look at this revised version and let us know your thoughts?

Climate Collective community member MORFO is inviting to a hands-on workshop focused on ARR projects in Brazil (Afforestation, Reforestation, Restoration). They invite others interested in discussing two main hurdles: - Securing land - Bridging the finance gap See workshop invite in comments ?? New to the greatness of ARR? Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR) projects focus on establishing new forests or restoring degraded land by planting trees and implementing soil conservation practices. ?? Afforestation:?planting trees on land that has not been previously forested; ?? Reforestation:?replanting trees in areas that have been deforested; ?? Revegetation:?restoring vegetation cover in areas where it has been lost. One of the champions of #ARR is Symbiosis Coalition - an advance market commitment to invest in the next generation of nature-based carbon removals projects by 2030, driving positive outcomes for people and planet. Members include Meta Microsoft McKinsey & Company Google and Salesforce. Ping Anna Lerner Nesbitt Jack Policar Adrien Pages Pascal Asselin
