An Anthesis activation at Climate Week NYC 2025
At Anthesis, we guide organizations as they transition toward decarbonized and more sustainable futures. This September, during Climate Week NYC, we built an experience that reflects that mission—activating progress through bold ideas, practical solutions, and collective energy.
Our two-day activation was a space for momentum — where leaders convened, systems shifted, and the future took shape. We witnessed dynamic conversations, collaborative solutions, and bold action across climate, nature, and equity.
Tuesday 23 September
Raising the Bar: Ensuring Carbon Project Integrity for Market Success
Anthesis Director Miquel Rubio was joined in conversation with Michael Casey, VP of Partnerships at NativState, Mart de Bruijn, Co-founder and Director at Carboneers, and John Tinsley, Co-Founder of Therm, for an engaging discussion on how to deliver high-integrity carbon and sustainability projects — from nature-based to technological solutions — that drive both climate impact and investment confidence.
Speakers
Nature Risk = Business Risk: From Compliance to Competitive Advantage
Betsy Hickman, Global Nature Lead at Anthesis, was joined in conversation with Erin Billman, Executive Director of the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN), and Tony Goldner, CEO of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) for a dynamic discussion on how to respond to rapidly evolving investor expectations and translate nature frameworks into actionable governance, risk management, and long-term value creation.
Speakers
Future-Proofing Climate & Nature Action: Lessons from the Nexus of Water, Biodiversity, and Business Value
Biodiversity and water are foundational business assets—indispensable to climate goals, supply chain and operational resilience, and long-term business growth. As climate change, ecosystem degradation, and water scarcity converge, forward-thinking companies are embedding nature action directly into their climate strategies to protect and grow enterprise value.
Sustainability leaders from Ecolab and Diageo shared practical insights into how integrating biodiversity and water stewardship into climate action drives measurable returns. They were joined by their implementing partners to share tangible examples of how implementing these strategies on the ground can further strengthen business resilience.
Speakers
Networking Reception with Carlyle and Anthesis
An energizing evening uniting investors, business leaders, and sustainability innovators — featuring Meg Starr, Steve Hatfield, and Stuart McLachlan — that sparked fresh ideas and partnerships for financing the transition to a low-carbon future.
