Beyond The Buzzwords

Climate Tech

"A broad term for any innovative technology that has the potential to address climate change.

The term “climate tech” intentionally casts a wide net. It includes both physical and digital technologies. It includes technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, technologies that remove emissions from the atmosphere, and technologies that enable adaptation to an altered climate. If a technology has something to do with solving any aspect of the complex and multi-faceted problem of climate change, then it can conceivably be considered climate tech. This all-inclusive focus acknowledges the breadth of the climate challenge and the diversity of solutions needed, but it also allows for a certain looseness when startups, investors, and others seek to define their impact."
