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

From the alarming rings from decades, we must really consider ZeroDeforestation as the first climate investment toward NetZero Goals.

That's why we create a dedicated permanent new CAT "Nature Based Solutions, Indigenous Knowledge & LowTech". This special CAT will be co-inaugurated by Emilie BARRUCAND, and Beptuk METUKTIRE, grand-son of our Honorary Great Chief of Champions for Climate, Chief Raoni METUKTIRE. On the ground, this is far more than climate & biodiversity. This specific CAT deals with direct Human Rights, and illustrates our common roots of Climate Techniques, aside all our usual CAT on Climate Technologies.

We consider Paris Agreement as the most powerfull agreement and empowering framework that contributes for "Peace & Security for the Planet & Humanity". We consider also the Forestries protection AND restauration, in particular all the Primary RainForests, the most un-valuable assets and Common Goods that converges the Climate & Biodiversity Agendas. That why we consider Chief Raoni METUKTIRE as our Comtemporary Greatest Leader & Champion for Climate, for all People in the World, and for all Futures Generarions. Now, We support him Officialy, aside his Honorary Award as our Greatest Candidate ever that deserve by far and until today, for the Peace Nobel Prize.

We will also maintain and upgrate our first democratic-vote for Awards related to a Common Climate Future, bridging responsibilities of Jury and stakeholders Voting. Indeed, a new and transparent tool will be launched and adopted, the ClimateTechIndex.COM, within we incorporate #ZeroDeforestation Criteria. Every Citizen in the World must take responsibility and participate to the vote process! 

The ClimateTechIndex, as the ambition to act a the first Label for the daily business, to access the quality and transparency within the markets (for funding & solutions selling), avoiding maximum "ClimateTechWashing" among 9 categories.

For these Awards, we will also inaugurate new CAT: "ClimateTech ScaleUp" on the same 9 Issues, and ClimateTech Investors, powered by ClimateVC & Corporate Ventures, for a fullstack NetPositive Planet.

CTA 2023 want here to make a clear view of what is climate leadership, for all climate entrepreneurs, far beyond making high scalable & successfull business for sustainability. We are creating the missing-link between Chief Raoni & Yvon CHOUINARD, founder of PATAGONIA, inspiring now all business owners toward the EarthShareholder path. We make an active commitment supporting us, toward the ClimateGivingPledge.ORG, 2 ways of giving to inspire all of us: from investors, entrepreneurs & policy makers & Champions that overcome efforts to succeed.

At CLIMATE TECHAWARDS, our mission goes beyond an Awards approach. Solving in time the "Climate Equation" is solving today the "Investment Equation". That’s why we create a network meeting-point of willingness within ClimatePhilanthropy Actions: the special ClimateGivingPledge 2023 for People (Serial & Weath Entrepreneurs) and Organizations, by committing giving a part or totaly, at their respective willingnesss their direct positive contribution for the Common Climate Good to maintain for All.

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

• For Corporates and Entrepreneurs I it is all about staying or becoming the next Leaders in your fields. 
• For Investors I it is all about funding Today your stream-revenue for Tomorrow, that aligns portfolios' performance.
• For Public Policies Makers I 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.

CTA 2023 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 NetPositive Planet!

All the Co-Chairs CTA & Editorial Committee

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!

The NetZero Target by 2050-2060, confirmed by commitments at COP26 and by the Glasgow Pact, and the Nature Positive Planet by 2030 are our converging agendas for these Awards. Today, all industries need to drive innovations in that sense (climate + biodiversity footprints). As scientists advocated towards the IPCC reports, Climate Technologies are playing a critical role to solve the "mother of all risks for XXI".

We need both DisruptiveTech and Nature Based Solutions towards a new approach of human activities and land-uses. That means investing globally, from science to concrete applications massively scalable in this decade. Shifting them as the new mainstream business models and schemes. We want here to highlight the players showing us the way.

• 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.

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

"CLIMATE TECH AWARDS" I 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. That requires a complete reboot in the expectation habits: from the "short" to the "patient" but stronger "Return of Investment".

For this special Climate Momentum 2022 for deliveries, we support the pro-active players. This is a must invitation for the participation of Public & Private Organizations: States, Cities, Regulators, Capital Markets, Operators, Industries, Academics and NGOs.

The awards are powered as "Tech For Good": common needs and interests, because our common horizon is delivering the Paris Agreement in time.

The context of our Editorial line, from this Special COP27, after the Glasgow Pact, and seven years after Paris Agreement:

Aligning the Leaderships towards "GreenDeal x ClimateTech x Trillion funding" to deliver Healthier GDP within this decade, and to contribute for a maximum "Peace & Security for the Planet & Humanity" in this XXI Century.

CTA 2022 will be the bridge from COP27-COP28, by the framework of Paris Agreement -LeBourget (the historic location of COP21, Paris Agreement, and place of the future MediaCenter for Paris2024, First Olympics ever with a positive climate contribution) to Sharm El Sheikh (location of this very special COP27). Everyone is concerned to make things change. Join forces, by these two sides of the same coin, as an overview effect: the carbon neutrality and nature positive related.
