Introduction to the New Carbon Economy Webinar Series
What is the carbon budget?
In partnership with ASU-LightWorks® and LightSpeed Solutions at Arizona State University, SSF hosted a webinar series about the future of the New Carbon Economy.
This is an economy in which low-carbon industry and primary energy production are joined by industrial centers, agricultural regions and food-producing ecosystems that turn excess CO2 into consumer goods, fuels, building materials and fertile soil.
These webinars will focus on the enormous market opportunity to transform waste carbon dioxide in the air into valuable products and services in a New Carbon Economy (NCE) — an economy where carbon pollution is turned into materials and fuels that drive our daily lives.

While the IPCC has made clear that “it’s 2030 or bust” if we are to avert the worst impacts of climate change, less than 2% of philanthropic capital is directed towards climate solutions. In this webinar, we will discuss how philanthropy can help speed the transition to a clean energy future.
- How can we increase philanthropic capital towards climate solutions?
- How are foundations researching and investing charitable capital in early stage companies?
