One Earth chosen as featured charity on Fintech TV
We are pleased to announce that One Earth has been named the official charity partner of two Fintech TV series on impact investing, hosted by Jeff Gitterman – The effect and The Great Reprising – which focuses on progress in sustainable finance to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Broadcast from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Fintech TV features internationally diverse voices bringing the latest in finance, blockchain, technology, sustainability and impact investing. The investors and entrepreneurs in the Fintech network spend billions of dollars to promote innovative and sustainable products and solutions in the financial and technology industries.
The effect the program highlights investment strategies, companies and leaders that seek to generate financial returns while creating positive social or environmental change. The big reprise explicitly focuses on transforming the economic and investment landscape that is sustainable and helps mitigate the current climate crisis.
Our Deputy Director, Karl Burkart, recently spoke with Jeff Gitterman about The big reprise about One Earth’s efforts to address the climate crisis. In the conversation, Karl delves into the One Earth Climate Model, which informs the work of 72 institutional investors with over $11 trillion in assets under management. The model helps investors understand how to construct their portfolios to comply with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
The team behind One Earth has invested over $100 million in philanthropic capital and is known for its work in advancing climate science, particularly focused on mitigation solutions across three pillars of action – renewable energy, conservation and regenerative agriculture. Their reference model shows that we can reach the ambitious goal of limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5 °C.
One Earth has also opened up their review process to share with philanthropic donors at all levels impactful projects around the world that are implementing climate solutions today—from microgrids in Africa to technology-enabled biodiversity conservation in Latin America to carbon sequestration on farmland in India. Their goal is to rapidly scale philanthropy to catalyze the climate finance needed to halve emissions within the next decade.
One Earth is honored to have been selected as the nonprofit organization at these two shows. Philanthropists around the world can get the latest in impact investing news from Fintech TV and also support our work to develop cutting-edge science, produce inspiring media and fund climate solutions around the world.
