Ocean Visions

We’re headed to the Ocean Visions 2025 Summit in Vancouver next week!? On the agenda: a global strategy for mCDR, policy, communities, supply chains, MMRV and much more. We are excited to share our insights from recent mega-deals and open-ocean deployments, learn from the community, and advance the industry together. Gigablue’s Co-Founder and CTO, Sapir Markus-Alford, and Director of Business Development, Matan Rudis will be there. ?? Reach out to schedule a private chat. #mCDR #science #climatechange #marine #carboncapture #innovation #sustainability #greentech #climatechange #environment #canada

Great to see our friends at Carbon to Sea Initiative take this important step to advance our understanding of ocean alkalinity enhancement as an option to clean up legacy greenhouse gas pollution. ?? ??

?? Next week, CarbonFix board member and climate scientist Jeroen Hazewinkel will venture out to Vancouver’s Biennial Ocean Visions Summit, hosted by Ocean Visions, and host an invite-only event. Jeroen is an expert on new technology deployment and decarbonisation. The topic: how to support climate ventures as well as removing systemic barriers around ocean climate repair. ??CarbonFix is eager to meet climate obsessed foundations & family offices (a.k.a. coffo’s) at the Hyatt Regency on Tuesday 25th March from 5pm onwards. If you have time to join Jeroen, The Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, Builders Vision and others for this intimate round table, please send Jeroen a direct message via LinkedIn. (And maybe pour him a cup of coffee to help him tackle his jetlag ??) ????♂?He will gladly tell you all about how we're supporting climate ventures and climate interventions (including in and around the ocean) and why we think the CarbonFix approach is such a valuable addition to the climate funding landscape. ?? Godspeed, Jeroen!

Looking forward to the Ocean Visions Biennial Summit 2025 in Vancouver, Canada next week 25-27.3! ?? Justus Lehtisaari & Ture Laiti will be attending crucial discussions on facilitating action on global tipping points, and adding perspectives to Ocean Vision’s Arctic Sea Ice Road Map. If you are around please join us at the sessions: 21st Century Conservation: Can We Protect and Restore Vanishing Ecosystems? Ocean Visions’ Arctic Sea Ice Road Map - Tuesday 25, March, 11.00-12.30. Facilitating Action on Global Tipping Points - Tuesday 25 March, 14.00-15.30.

Excited to be part of the Ocean Visions Biennial Summit 2025 As an Ocean Visions – Ocean Climate Innovation Fellow, I am thrilled to join this summit, learn from diverse perspectives, share experiences, and connect. I will be contributing to two key discussions: Ocean-Climate Innovation Hubs: Building Global Partnerships for Restorative and Equitable Solutions – Exploring how innovation hubs can drive impactful ocean-climate solutions through research, collaboration, and community engagement. Towards an African mCDR Road Map – Advancing marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) in Africa by identifying key opportunities, challenges, and pathways for implementation. Looking forward to meeting and exchanging ideas with everyone attending! More on the summit: https://lnkd.in/dknjJXJK Leonardo Valenzuela Pérez, PhD Shamim Wasii Nyanda Catalina Reyes-Vargas Ruth D.
