Congratulations to the Catona Climate team for their breakthrough partnership with ENGIE! Last week, they announced a deal to pre-order 5 million tons of nature-based carbon removals between 2030-2039. Engie is a global leader in low carbon energy and services. This initiative will significantly contribute to Engie's goal of Net Zero emissions across all three scopes by 2045.
ENGIE and Catona Climate are joining forces to scale supply of nature-based carbon removals. 🌱🤝 The collaboration exemplifies an industry-leading approach to decarbonization — reducing emissions aligned with public science-based targets and addressing residual emissions through high-impact carbon removal projects on the path to net zero and beyond. This pre-order also demonstrates how long-term offtake commitments can help attract capital for nature-based carbon removals and scale the market. 👇 Read more about the collaboration on ENGIE’s site: https://lnkd.in/eawHm5b8

We are so proud of the work Upwards is doing to make childcare more accessible to all families while empowering the caregivers who provide it. Watch the video below as Upwards CEO, Jessica Chang, launches a pilot program for the Army National Guard providing childcare to our soldiers in 20 states. https://lnkd.in/gTMC86sa
🇺🇸 Hear from General Daniel Hokanson, Chief of the National Guard Bureau, and Jessica Chang, CEO of Upwards, as they launch a groundbreaking pilot program for Army National Guard families at the Pentagon. National Guard families are part of the backbone of our nation's defense and wear many hats. They balance civilian careers and family life alongside the demands of military service. National Guard soldiers live in nearly every zip code across the county but are rarely near a base with built-in childcare support. Securing reliable quality childcare for drill weekends and annual trainings can be especially challenging, particularly for dual-serving families or single parents. Upwards is committed to supporting our nation's heroes and their families. This new pilot program will provide Army National Guard soldiers in 20 states with access to covered, quality, reliable childcare when they need it the most. States included in the program: Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin. Watch the ceremony below and learn how Upwards is making a difference: https://lnkd.in/giXccZub #UpwardsServesHeroes #USArmyNationalGuard #ArmyFamilies #MilitaryFamilies
