Norrsken Session
 The Carbon Paradox 

Norrsken House Barcelona - Townhall/ 1st Dec / 18:15 - 20:00


Climate Finance, Carbon Markets &
The Power of Storytelling 


Join a dynamic discussion with Renat Heuberger, pioneering entrepreneur, investor and one of the authors of The Carbon Paradox - a newly released, genre-defying book that blends fiction and deep field experience to illuminate the contradictions of global climate finance. 

Renat isn’t just another expert. He’s a serial entrepreneur and investor, the co-founder of Terra Impact Ventures, myclimate and South Pole, a WEF Schwab Social Entrepreneur, and a leader who has helped shape how carbon markets operate on a global scale. 

 Renat brings firsthand insight into how carbon markets are evolving, and what this means for climate entrepreneurs, funders, and innovators working at the edge of change. 

Expect bold ideas, uncomfortable truths, and a roadmap for navigating one of the most complex (and misunderstood) corners of the climate ecosystem and how to protect nature at scale. If you’re an impact founder, investor, policymaker, or simply someone building the future of sustainability, this is a must-attend.

Book your spot. Limited spaces open to non-members.
