Real change begins with awareness. The effects of climate change are no longer distant.
They are unfolding now in our cities, our economies, and our daily lives.
At Ultima Impact, we believe that action starts with understanding.
Our learning page brings together voices from leading experts in climate science, urban resilience, and sustainable finance.
By making this knowledge accessible, we aim to help more people make informed decisions, adapt to what’s coming, and take responsibility for shaping a more sustainable future.

“Sustainability must become part of how we think, not just how we act. I hope this series will encourage more people—especially those outside the environmental space—to see its relevance in business, in policy, and in everyday life.”

“Nature-based solutions are both the simplest and most complex idea I work with: They are intuitive, grounded in natural processes, but also layered with nuanced social, ecological, and economic dimensions. As a professor, I aim to help build a shared understanding of their strengths and limitations, because raising awareness is the first step toward mainstreaming these solutions in policy and practice.”

“We live in a time of overlapping crises. Understanding risk is about
giving people tools—not just to react, but to plan and adapt. I hope this
series helps make that knowledge more widely accessible.”
