Direct air capture (DAC) continues to be small, slow, and very expensive.

Not because it’s an early stage technology, but because it runs into fundamental thermodynamic challenges that money can’t solve.

This is exactly why it’s not recommended by Project Drawdown.

“Nature-related risks are already creating real and measurable financial impacts across sectors, geographies and time horizons."

Professor Nicola Ranger has written for Reuters on the increasing evidence that environmental degradation has financial consequences.

The burden of proof has flipped: why is nature not material to your business?

Earlier this year, the first wave of corporate reports under the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) quietly revealed a troubling trend. Fewer than 40% of companies identified nature-related issues – such as pollution, water scarcity and biodiversity loss – as material to their business. This isn’t just a bureaucratic oversight. It is a systemic risk hiding in plain sight.

The impact of climate chaos on the global economy is coming into focus. In this case data from the EU:

"Weather and climate-related extremes caused economic losses of assets estimated at EUR 738B between 1980-2023 in the EU, with over EUR 162B (22%) of those losses occurring between 2021 and 2023."

This is what resilience looks like (Photo essay)

Mangrove loss in India’s Sundarbans is turning farmers into climate refugees. Photojournalist Supratim Bhattacharjee captures the human cost, from salt-ravaged fields to tiger attacks. A powerful look at resilience in a changing world.
