Planet FWD had the incredible opportunity to travel to London for #LondonClimateActionWeek. Europe has always been a key player in sustainability and climate innovation, and I was excited to be at the center of it. A few reflections from the week: 🎆 Climate action as a differentiator: In London, I noticed a new developer highlighting that their upcoming skyrise building will have a net zero commitment right from the start. In the train station, a sign emphasized that taking the train reduces your carbon footprint by 40% compared to driving. These simple yet powerful messages promote #carbonliteracy among the public, something I believe we should strive for more in the US! 🎇 Action first: Attending workshops in London, I was part of collaborative, pre-competitive efforts between solution providers and businesses with hard mandates for follow ups on actionable outcomes. The value of Climate Weeks is to unite individuals working towards solutions, and this type of catalyst ensures that talk becomes walk! #climateaction #decarbonization #climatetech
