Climate CEOs

Climate CEOs

What is ZERO all about?

Climate finance (we need to catalyze trillions of investment). Impact-focused startups (it's possible to do well and do good). Personal development as a path to get there (we're not done growing yet).

Welcome to ZERO by me, Chris Wedding. Who the heck am I?

Founder, Entrepreneurs for Impact (climate masterminds, executive coaching, exclusive peer groups). Professor, Duke and UNC (energy finance, ESG investing, green real estate, management consulting). Former PE investor, investment banker, “monk,” rainforest researcher. Father. Background here: www.chriswedding.co

Oh yeah, and also a guy who has made a tons of mistakes, has SO much left to learn, and is keen to share cool stuff in the worlds of climate finance and personal growth with a HUGE audience of fellow world changers around the world.

After all, companies grow when people do. And we need lots of companies with climate solutions to grow BIG, so bring on the belly button gazing. (OK, so arriving at our “optimal self” is a little more sophisticated than that…)

And why the name ZERO?

​Because I curate trends and tools to help catalyze…

  • ZERO greenhouse gas emissions

  • ZERO species extinction

  • ZERO pollution

  • ZERO distractions from what’s most important

  • ZERO inefficiency

  • ZERO racial and gender inequity

  • ZERO apathy and inaction    

Are these goals realistic? Probably not.   
​Are they worth striving for? Yep.

Sign up now so you don’t miss the first issue.

In the meantime, tell your friends!
