Welcome to this month’s Sustainable Finance update. Discover our latest insights and upcoming events.
UPDATES:
- In contributing to NZTech’s submission on the Emissions Reduction Plan consultation, we were invited to attend the Ministry for the Environment’s (MFE) Climate Business Advisory Group (CBAG) meeting to provide a presentation on the role of technology in climate change, including the state of play, and some recommendations.
- The Climate Tech Roadmap talks about using the framework to establish an organised climate tech ecosystem that unites government, industry and research organisations to help foster innovation and nurture startups to support emission reduction goals.
- We met with Callaghan to discuss their CleanTech mission and an opportunity to amalgamate by aligning our goals and resources to achieve greater impact. We agreed on their return:
- they would make an introduction to connect us to the cleantech group of companies that has been forming themselves already so we can learn about them and figure out how we can come together
- we would look at doing a presentation about the learnings the companies made on their CleanTech mission, and
- have something that we can share across all NZ Tech communities.
