2150

This is our manifesto: to re-imagine cities, those cathedrals of human innovation, by backing technologies that can have impact at a global scale. #ClimateChange #urbansustainability #ClimateTech #Gigacorns

This week in London also saw The Earthshot Prize (for which we are a nominating partner) host a number of events convening solutions, investors and partners. An amazing gathering of mission-aligned minds. Thank you for allowing us to participate. Margarita Skarkou Christian Jølck Rahul Parekh 🙏🏻

The urban built environment significantly contributes to global carbon emissions through energy consumption, transportation, construction, and waste management. However, it also presents a tremendous opportunity for impactful change. By enhancing energy efficiency in buildings, adopting renewable energy sources, promoting sustainable transportation, utilising low-carbon construction materials, and improving waste management practices, cities can drastically reduce their carbon footprint. Given that urban areas account for over 70% of CO2 emissions, these efforts can lead to substantial global impact. Transforming our cities into sustainable, low-carbon environments is crucial for mitigating climate change and ensuring a resilient future. The choices we make today will shape a cleaner, greener tomorrow. On our next episode of the Unheated podcast, Theia Ventures hosted Rahul Parekh from 2150, a UK-based property tech fund, with a strong focus on urban technology, the built environment, and sustainability. The fund priorities early-stage companies that innovate in the design, construction, and powering of cities. Rahul Parekh speaks about how 2150 particularly focuses on ventures that can achieve significant reductions in carbon emissions—aiming for those capable of cutting down emissions by a billion tons annually—while also being commercially viable.
