Dear Friends, Climate Leaders, Champions, Advocates, Dear All Stakeholders,

Our Editorial line is playing in a context to align leaderships and decision makers to produce Healthier GDP. Towards "GreenDeal(s) x ClimateTech x Climate Finance", the common needs, interests, and horizon is delivering the Paris Agreement in time. Contributing for a maximum "Peace & Security for the Planet & Humanity" in this XXI Century is all about this.

For this COP27 Sharm El Sheikh, the NetZero Targets for mid-century have been confirmed by the Glasgow Pact at the COP26. These goals are directly linked to discussions at the next COP15 on Biodiversity, for a must global Nature Positive Agreement.

As “Climate” and “Biodiversity” footprints are the 2 faces of the same coin for a sustainable Earth, all industries need to drive innovations by that double effect. But first, to solve Climate Change, the "mother of all risks of XXI", scientists advocate within the IPCC reports, that Climate Technologies and the models of sobriety resources, are already playing a critical role. These Climate Tech Awards, 2^nd Edition, will support a 3 milestones agenda for this purpose:

on 14 November 2022: this is the CTA pre-launched, special COP27, powered by roundtable series, gathering top-class speakers to raise frontier issues & share insights (ONLINE)
from 14 November to 14 December: this is the pitch series of pre-selected ClimateTech, by our Blended Jury. A special Jury process, mixing Experts and Civil Societies are invited to vote. Here, we want to practice the first democratic Awards related to the climate technology choices (ONLINE)
on 14 December 2022: the Official Awards Nominees will deliver the Official votes and highlight the best-one ClimateTech chosen. This will be also the converging date for the COP15 on Biodiversity AND celebrating the 7^thanniversary of Paris Agreement. (HYBRID)

AWARDS I Startup-applicants among 8 Categories

CTA 2^nd Edition want here to highlight and inspire by ClimateTech showing the way, by their innovations, new products, services or business-models, based on disruptive tech or Nature Based Solutions:

Energies Mix & LowCarbon industries (including CCS/CCUS)
Hydrogen Sector and related applications
Sustainable AgriFood for Sovereignty (Biodiversity & LandUse preservation)
Digital, Space & Finance for Earth System & Risk models
Smart & Sustainable Cities (Building & Mobilities)
Women for ClimateTech, with Africa-related Applications
Fashion, Goods & Products
(e)Commerce, Travel & SupplyChain

This new approach of human activities and land-uses is the new paradigm shift. In this decade, beyond Green Taxonomies, investing globally from science to scalable tech applications, is the key sobriety-footprint for a Nature Positive Planet.

CLIMATE TECH AWARDS I Mission beyond Nominees x Top Speakers line-up.

For CTA, our mission goes beyond only an Awards approach: Solving in time the "Climate Equation" is solving today the "Investment Equation". We also want to play as an accelerator for ClimateTech funding. if Tech is Key, Finance is Fundamental. For 2050-2060, all investors must realize that "NetZero effort" needs Funding from 2022 and massively before 2030. It's about scaling and spreading these concrete applications for mitigation and adaptation (in add to climate protection and resilience). That requires a complete reboot in the expectation habits: from the "short" to the "patient" but stronger "Return of Investment".
In add, we invite CTA speakers and audiences to co-design the take-away key messages. Playing like a platform of inter-actions and innovations, we support you being full-filed by this Climate 1^st business purpose.

For a special ClimateTech Momentum from 2022

To go-ahead in this task, we already invite the ClimateTech stakeholders to join a global community working for "THE WHY", "THE KNOWLEDGE", "THE KNOW-HOW", by building "THE WHO" with the ClimateTech FOUNDATION:

For Corporates and Entrepreneurs, it is all about staying or becoming the next Leaders in your fields.
For Investors, it is all about funding Today your stream-revenue for Tomorrow, that aligns portfolios' performance.
For Public Policies Makers, it is all about how co-designing our acceptable and inclusive reforms to support these geopolitical targets, by maintaining the global warming at 1.5-2°C for a livable Planet.

To deploy at speed and scale, we support the successful or promising ClimateTech for this task to achieve. In that sense, we will make some closing announcements with partners, at the end of the Official Climate Tech Awards Ceremony.

CTA are a must invitation for Public & Private Organizations: States, Cities, Regulators, Capital Markets, Operators, Industries, Academics and NGOs. Everyone is concerned to make things change. Join forces, for an overview effect, by these two sides of the same coin.

Let’s build this incredible bridge to accelerate the Future for a Net Positive Planet!
