In a world where traditional narratives often fall on deaf ears or evoke ‘doom and gloom,’ our CLMX project’s ‘eco-absurdist’ approach to systemic climate issues introduces groundbreaking strategies. By leveraging purposeful pranks for both profit and planet, this keynote aims to navigate through daily noise, enhancing public and investor awareness of climate urgencies. Integrating discussions on financial innovations, biodiversity, climate tech, nature-based solutions, and climate justice, we explore diverse capital types and market-driven innovations within the climate and capital ecosystem, showcasing the extensive potential of eco-absurd storytelling in sparking significant climate action and engagement. From “Forever Chemicals” gifts that are truly forever to AI-generated late-night ‘clean talk’ hotlines discussing the IRA bill, the CLMX framework demonstrates the untapped potential of eco-absurd storytelling in driving meaningful engagement that highlights climate technology that exist to be implemented today and drive action towards climate solutions.
