We officially evolved from DGB Group into Green Earth — a new name that reflects our mission to regenerate nature on a global scale! Our evolution goes beyond a rebrand: it is a renewed commitment to deliver measurable environmental and socio-economic outcomes and to make nature restoration investable at scale. Under our brand promise “Engineering Possibilities,” Green Earth delivers measurable outcomes through a fully integrated project-development model. We combine ecological science, data intelligence, and financial expertise to ensure every project meets the highest global standards, generates certified carbon credits, and creates long-term value for all stakeholders. Unlike fragmented approaches in the carbon market, we oversee the entire value chain — from restoring degraded land and engaging local communities to carbon credit issuance and transparent reporting — eliminating greenwashing risks and offering investors credible, verifiable impact at scale. Our ambition is to mobilise €1 billion in nature capital and make nature restoration both accessible and profitable for investors, institutions, and individuals worldwide.

🌱 Climate Bonds vs Green Bonds — What’s the Difference? 🌍💡 In the world of sustainable finance, two terms often get mixed up: Climate Bonds and Green Bonds. While both aim to fund environmentally friendly projects, there are key distinctions: 🔹 Green Bond A fixed-income instrument used to finance projects with environmental benefits — such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, clean transportation, sustainable agriculture, and biodiversity conservation. The scope is broad, covering any project that contributes positively to the environment. 🔹 Climate Bond A specific type of green bond that is aligned with the Climate Bonds Standard and certified by the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI). These bonds focus exclusively on projects that help combat climate change — either by reducing greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation) or improving resilience to climate impacts (adaptation). 💬 Think of it this way: All climate bonds are green bonds, but not all green bonds are climate bonds. 🌎✅ As sustainable finance grows, understanding these differences is crucial for investors, project developers, and policymakers to align capital with global climate goals. #SustainableFinance #GreenBonds #ClimateBonds #ESG #ClimateAction #ImpactInvesting

Should you purchase carbon credits from the Global South? Or locally in Europe? 🌍 Let your sustainability strategy be your guide. For instance: If your strategy emphasizes climate justice, consider supporting 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. These projects: → Channel finance to countries facing the most extreme climate impacts → Take advantage of abundant land and biomass for scalability → Support co-benefits like economic growth and life on land At Rainbow, we’re incredibly proud to be working with our first carbon projects in Kenya, Nigeria, and Ghana: Tera, Releaf Earth (YC W19), and The Good Roll Africa 👏 But here’s another approach, one that’s sometimes underrated. If your strategy focuses on value chain decarbonization, consider supporting 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀. These projects: → Decarbonize high-emissions industries in your value chain → Tackle emissions in countries with the highest emissions → Support co-benefits like clean water and responsible consumption For example, ECS Group, a major player in airport logistics, made a multi-year agreement to purchase credits from Ecodair (a high-impact e-refurbishment project). This agreement directly supports ECS's value chain decarbonization goals, aligning with their sustainability strategy. 👏 - To be clear, there are high-quality removal and avoidance projects all around the world! These are just examples. As long as credits pass the quality threshold, you have many paths to real climate impact. Just remember: when you align credit purchases with your sustainability strategy, you’ll build a story you’re proud to share with the world. 🌈 - Image credit: global map of carbon removal projects from CDR.fyi

I’ve had a number of conversations over the past few weeks about the state of the carbon removal field and almost all of them have had some version of the question: Is it time to panic? Here’s my answer: Building hard tech has never been easy — combine that with a tough political environment for climate, limited understanding of carbon removal, and a lack of a fully-developed market and you’re looking at a gargantuan task that requires action, not panic. And yet, instead of all hands on deck, I get the feeling that many in the carbon removal field want to stay in theoretical land. It’s easier to 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘 about carbon removal than to actually 𝑑𝑜 carbon removal — easier to write reports and roadmaps and dream up governance structures for 50 years from now than support building today. But new and first-of-a-kind facilities help us gather real-world data, drive down costs, gain community understanding and buy-in, and showcase the technology’s co-benefits. Even more importantly, they give us a very clear picture of what 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛'𝑡 work. It’s why I launched the Carbon Removal Alliance — to keep innovators innovating. Carbon removal in the real world isn’t neat; it’s hard and uncomfortable! But the field needs to roll up its sleeves and figure out how to support 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 generation of companies at 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 moment — or we’ll be starting back from square one in ten years time. This means retooling our playbook with new strategies oriented towards what companies need now: from new sources of catalytic capital to finance projects, to innovative structures for carbon removal purchases that create near-term demand, to pragmatic policy wins that buoy the field. We cannot remove carbon and meet our climate goals without innovators and the companies they’ve built. The carbon removal industry needs our support at this moment and we in the broader field need to rise to meet that challenge.

GHG Accounting isn’t just for the “giants"anymore It has become the secret to long-term sustainability even as a small business. Let me explain why👇🏾 Meet Lardi, founder of a small shea butter cooperative in Navrongo, my hometown. For years, her team exported to Europe, until one day a buyer asked her, “𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵?” (Don’t know what this means? Don’t worry, I'll explain in my next post). Lardi was shunned! What on earth was that and why did she need it? Thankfully, Lardi is active on LinkedIn. She asked for help and found someone to guide her: 🌿 They measured emissions from production, transport, and packaging. 💡 They also discovered her energy usage could be 3x lower if she changed her outdated machines. ✨ She switched to solar dryers, cutting emissions and saving some cash. 📈 Now? She’s ESG-compliant, secured a grant, and just landed a new export deal. Your small business could be next! Although, many clients & funders are now asking for your company's GHG assessment, it is more than gathering data & being compliant. GHG accounting is smart business & your ticket to resilience against unpredictable climate shocks. So, you just can’t afford to be left behind. Whether you’re a start-up fashion brand or food processor, sustainability isn’t the future. It is right now! Because when you snooze, you lose out big time! If you need help to measure your SME's carbon footprint, send me a dm and let’s talk for FREE! *GHG – GreenHouse Gases #GHGAccounting #SustainabilityMadeSimple #WomenInESG #SMEGrowth #ESGstrategy #SustainabilityAfrica

️Too many GPs still treat climate as a side note. LPs no longer can. At IPEM Paris 2025, I will moderate a panel at the Climate Summit asking the hard question: How can LPs tell which GPs are truly future-fit in the New Climate Era — and which are not? The reality is clear: - Due diligence are constrained within silos while systemic risks and their real-world consequences call for a transversal approach. Traditional processes are not designed for climate volatility. - Resilience is uneven: concrete actions with PortCos, incentives, case studies are the real signals of whether a GP can adapt — not glossy reports. - The market is splitting: some GPs are embedding climate into strategy, while others retreat to “mainstream” positions. LPs are already noticing. - Proof, not promises: allocators now demand evidence that portfolios can withstand disruption, pivot when needed, and still create value. I’ll be exploring these tensions with a strong panel of LPs: 🔹 Caroline Brun Ellefsen, Bpifrance 🔹 Kelli Fontaine, Cendana Capital 🔹 Matteo Squilloni, European Investment Fund (EIF) 🔹 Viviane Ting, CFA Amundi Alpha Associates At WEASTEM, we see climate as a defining lens for private markets. Not another ESG checklist, but a test of resilience, adaptability, and long-term relevance. 👉 Join us at IPEM Paris to push this conversation forward.
