On the eve of COP27 we are (again) at an inflection point for climate and nature, we need to change the way we produce #energy, #food, and... #everything. Sobering to see an agenda that recognises the uncomfortable truth - the impa…lnkd.in/e8ncXenF lnkd.in/e2hJuNHR

This beggars belief. Clean #energy is central to any chance we have of a 1.5 C solution and renewable energy developers are now being put on an even worse footing than the #oilandgasindustry. Can anyone explain the logic to me? lnkd.in/gyrY_7RK

Check out our feature in The Guardian - three Ørsted projects boosting ocean biodiversity, putting the #renew in #renewables (puns entirely my own and may not represent my employer's sense of humour). lnkd.in/e_MDNgyS

#Cool! SeaGrown and Ørsted have set out on a #mission to establish #data around the potential of seaweed as an ocean-climate solution by trialing a range of #monitoring technologies including eDNA, remote cameras, and sonar. lnkd.in/ggZFUeYP

Are you a student with a a great #climatetech or #energy startup #idea that could use $100,000 or more?? Hurry up (deadline is Jan 13th!) and apply! Open to US and Europe, for more talk to Aditi Jha. Anyone at Cambridge Judge Business School keen? cep.mit.edu

Are you working on integrating a biodiversity commitment into your company? As part of my #MBA research I'd love to speak with you! I've almost hit my interview target, but it's been so interesting I'm #addicted now. To keep things anonymous, please DM m…lnkd.in/gpWJys5B

Life got busy, but I wanted to take a moment to recognise one of the best #collaborative experiences of 2022 - working with amazing colleagues Ricky Supriyadi, Annie Mfula, Richard Pemberton DL MRICS, Iaroslav Shvets and Zuo Xu on our Cambridge Judge Busi…lnkd.in/e-uydMu9

At the current trajectory of renewable #energy deployment, we will hit #global targets decades too late for any sort of Paris-aligned outcome. We NEED to #speed and scale up. lnkd.in/e-cg9iJi

News of this 100 #million DKK coastal restoration project seemed to slip quietly by! It's quite the undertaking - six Danish municipalities, four universities, two government agencies, as well as Ørsted, Ornit.dk, th…lnkd.in/eGPvMJjz lnkd.in/eRgtRZ3p

This #graphic from a 2011 paper (Fabi et al - Overview on artificial reefs in #Europe) is fascinating but dated, and imagine the #Netherlands, #Denmark and #Norway are now miles ahead. Does anyone know of updated stats or maps? lnkd.in/ec7fYh9P

The return to reality delayed this post but last Friday, after 20 weekendless months, I graduated from the Cambridge Judge Business School with an Executive MBA! Was it worth it? Could there have been more core focus on the global #business issues of th…lnkd.in/eJ-FJXbG

Reported as potentially the first commercial trade of biodiversity credits (discounting years of commercial purchases of biodiversity units in England), the Swedbank purchase raises lots of interesting questions. Fundamentally - it…lnkd.in/eRi4Fpfy lnkd.in/eNH-UZun

It's incredibly uplifting to be part of the largest (probably?!) and best (most definitely) corporate #biodiversity team in the world, all working toward a net positive impact on biodiversity for Ørsted. Last week we all met at Ørsted HQ in #copenhagen…lnkd.in/epwvaMjZ

So pleased to be working with Ocean Conservation Trust and Stine, Alison and Oliver on this! Great to be working in the #celticsea, a new and exciting region for Ørsted and hopefully just the start of a great new relationship. lnkd.in/eExw9S2p
