Sliced: 🎙️ The Future of Finance Podcast: From Carbon Markets to Climate Action with Sean Penrith
Listen to this episode on any of the streaming platforms below.
We’re excited to share that last month, our founder and CEO, Sean Penrith, was a guest on The Future of Finance, a podcast hosted by Georges Dyer.
In this episode, Sean discusses Gordian Knot Strategies’ mission to mobilize $1 billion annually by 2030 to accelerate climate action. The conversation touches on the complexities of voluntary and compliance carbon markets, the promise of nature-based solutions like reforestation and peatland restoration, and the challenges of aligning financial returns with real impact.
Georges and his team created a space for a candid and systems-level discussion on how capital can be deployed more effectively, and with integrity, in the face of the climate crisis.
We’re grateful to Georges and his team at the Intentional Endowments Network for the opportunity and encourage you to tune in to hear their wide-ranging conversation. Streaming links are above!
The Environmental Defense Fund, in partnership with the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, has released a Request for Proposals (RFP) to identify a fund manager for the groundbreaking Dairy Impact Fund – a first-of-its-kind blended finance vehicle designed to accelerate the adoption of methane-reducing practices on dairy farms.
With an initial $10 million commitment from a lead investor and additional fundraising underway, the fund will offer low-cost, revolving loans paired with incentives from dairy companies to help farmers overcome financial barriers to sustainability. By partnering with farmers’ existing lenders and dairy buyers, the fund aims to streamline access to tailored financing while supporting the U.S. dairy sector—including members of the Dairy Methane Action Alliance—in meeting their methane reduction targets. Proposals are due by September 1, and we encourage you to share this opportunity with fund managers in your network.
