✒Climate Frontiers is a new newsletter for the climate sector. A combination of innovative technology, regulation, political change, environmental reality and consumer sentiment is creating a new climate economy. The urgent need to decarbonise will spark demand for zero carbon products and services, creating millions of new business opportunities.
Each week Climate Frontiers will cover:
💡 New technologies, innovations and opportunities for the climate sector.
🎲 Risks for the Climate sector.
💡 Market and industry intelligence. Climate is a fast moving and exciting sector that will become central to business and society over the next decade.
📣 Interviews with entrepreneurs and investors.
⏳The next decade will see Climate become the most important political issue in the world. Countries across the globe will be locked into a battle against a rapidly changing climate. Extreme heat, floods and drought will upend societies and economies with developing countries hardest hit.
🌍Mass migration, water wars and widespread geopolitical instability are just some of the ill effects that will result from climate chaos. The next few decade promise global risks on an unprecedented scale.
🌡Of course there is way to halt at least some of this. Rapid decarbonisation is a must. It is also something nearly everything government in the world has agreed to in principle. This commitment has been backed by new global treaties such as the Paris Agreement and the TCFD. These bind companies to cut carbon emissions and identify their climate risks.
⚡The rush to decarbonise will encompass every industry and sector. A thriving Climate tech sector focused on using new technologies such as artificial meat, hydrogen and blockchain to reduce carbon emissions. This new sector is well positioned to provide the innovative technology to transform society.
🏦Large companies and banks moves to decarbonise will prove critical. Companies that move early to decarbonise will gain a competitive edge on their peers.
⚙Governments are perhaps the most important part of the puzzle. Nations set the regulatory framework and political will that will help drive decarbonisation. Government action (or inaction) in creating and enforcing global and national treaties and laws that drive decarbonisation is critical to achieving these goals.
