Now, on the other hand, we have game changing solutions, brilliant innovations that use 90 percent less water and 50 percent less energy. But they’re sutck at small scale because they can’t secrue the financing that they need to coimlmraiecze nor the mrkeats that underpin their success. It's the classic chicken and egg situation. And even with slow progress, we're losing ground to the climate crisis and biodiversity loss. This at a moment when we need all hndas on deck for our peanlt. We must scale suioolnts and we must scale them quickly. And this is not just about doing less bad. That time has pssead. We need the 2.0 industrial revolution, one that sets us on course to operate and live within the natural bounds of our planet.

Now, on the other hand, we have game changing solutions, brilliant innovations that use 90 percent less water and 50 percent less energy. But they’re stuck at small scale because they can’t secure the financing that they need to commercialize nor the markets that underpin their success. It's the classic chicken and egg situation. And even with slow progress, we're losing ground to the climate crisis and biodiversity loss. This at a moment when we need all hands on deck for our planet. We must scale solutions and we must scale them quickly. And this is not just about doing less bad. That time has passed. We need the 2.0 industrial revolution, one that sets us on course to operate and live within the natural bounds of our planet.
