Koh has more than 20 years of experience in investing and public policy in both the public and private sectors. In addition to eyeing companies with attractive financial, growth, and market share metrics, The Lightsmith Group looks for those that either have or can put in place Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) processes and apply key performance indicators to assess their social and environmental impacts. ![]() On its website, Lightsmith says its mission is to pursue “superior financial returns along with measurable social and environmental impacts by investing in companies that address major societal needs.” The Lightsmith Group was co-founded in 2016 by Koh and Sanjay Wagle, the firm’s other managing director. ![]() “Lightsmith has brought together a team with a unique combination of experience in direct investment and climate change and has secured the commitment of leading global investors to invest in climate resilience,” Kauffman said in a press release. Richard Kauffman, former chairman of Energy and Finance for New York State, will serve as chairman of the investment committee for the Lightsmith Climate Resilience fund. Other investors include the European Investment Bank, the German Agency for International Cooperation, the Nordic Development Fund, and PNC Financial Services Group. The fund’s biggest investor is the UN’s Green Climate Fund (GCF). But the firm decided to wrap up fundraising early. The Lightsmith Group originally planned to raise $250 million for the fund, Bloomberg reported. “Increasing drought, agriculture stress, and supply chain disruption linked to climate change will drive demand for data and analytics to understand those risks and for the solutions to manage them.” Photo Courtesy Juan RojasĪs of late January, the Lightsmith Climate Resilience fund had made investments in two startups: SOURCE Global, a water harvesting technology company with an off-grid solution to produce affordable drinking water from sunlight and air and Wa圜ool Foods, India-based agriculture, and food supply chain services company that applies physical automation and digital technology to reduce food wastage and improve farm output. “Climate resilience technologies are an overlooked, multi-billion dollar investment opportunity that will just keep growing,” Jay Koh, co-founder and managing director of The Lightsmith Group, said in a press release. The new fund will initially focus on six technology areas: water efficiency and smart water management, resilient food systems, agricultural analytics, geospatial intelligence, supply chain analytics, and catastrophe risk modeling and risk transfer. The Lightsmith Group calls it the first private equity fund to focus exclusively on climate resilience and adaptation. It will invest in growth-stage companies whose technologies are addressing ecological sustainability, which represents an estimated total addressable market of more than $170 billion. The Lightsmith Climate Resilience Partners fund launched with $186 million in financial backing. Photo Courtesy Jake Gard A fund from The Lightsmith Group, a New York-based private equity firm, aims to address adaptation and resilience issues by investing in technology to combat the impact of floods, droughts, storms, and other ecological disruptions. Resilience refers to an ecosystem’s ability to keep functioning despite environmental disturbances through transformation or restoration to its original condition. Mitigation involves offsetting the negative impacts of a changing climate by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources.Īdaptation means anticipating adverse effects of worsening and extreme weather events and taking action to prevent or minimize potential damage, such as building flood defenses or switching to drought-resistant crops. Promoting long-lasting environmental sustainability can be categorized into three strategies– one having to do with mitigation, another with adaptation, and the third with resilience. ![]() ![]() If you want to participate in the project, contact me by PM.

This Low profile and lightweight are two of the major reasons to get the Smith Vantage but there are lots of little things that make this helmet great as well. After a whole day of riding, you don’t feel like the first thing you want to do when you get to the car or bar takes the helmet off. We can’t stress how small and light this feels on your head. We previously thought the Smith Variant is the lowest profile helmets out there until we got to play around with the Vantage. It is incredibly low profile compared to almost any helmet out there. Another thing that makes the Smith Vantage one of our favorite helmets is how low it rides on your head. Both felt so heavy compared to the Smith Vantage. Right before this, we were tooling around with the Giro G10, Giro G9, and RED Tantrum. We didn’t put it on a scale but the Vantage feels almost like wearing a hat. Positives– To start off the Smith Vantage is incredibly light. We can talk about the features and usability of the Vantage though. We aren’t going to talk about these aspects of the Helmet in detail or any of the helmets on The Good Ride. On the sides it just seems to be in mold You can see this separation in the line that separates the upper an lower parts of the helmet like it has a curvy equator. I think they call this Hybrid Shell construction. We can say from what we understand is the Smith vantage seems to have a hard shell on the top along with in-mold construction. We haven’t impacted experts so don’t look to us for technical details about impact protection. Not much has changed from 2011 to 2012 except for the addition of a BOA Coil for the tightening system near the back so if you can find 2011 have at it. Our favorite part about Smith helmets is the goggle venting system. You can block off all of the helmet, the front part or the rear part. The Vantage does have some of the best venting out there and a very logical approach to the way it regulates. About The Good Ride Snowboard Outerwear ReviewsĪ couple of things about the Vantage.

The decision to head for Saint-Nazaire shows that after a survey of the damage sustained, Lütjens had correctly decided to cancel Operation Rheinübung at least temporarily until the Bismarck could be repaired in port.īut, why did he choose Saint-Nazaire? The French port was farther than Norway and it required greater fuel expenditure. The Prinz Eugen, which was undamaged, would stay in the Atlantic to attack enemy convoys on her own. ![]() Instead, the German Admiral opted not to pursue the Prince of Wales (apparently against Captain Lindemann's suggestions) and headed for the Atlantic.Īt 0801, Admiral Lütjens sent a series of messages to Group North informing of his intention to take Bismarck to Saint-Nazaire for repairs.
