At last years Techonomy Climate conference, Climactic's Raj Kapoor spoke to attendees about clean tech, climate tech, and how venture capital can accelerate net-zero goals. This year, he's joining us again. Techonomy Climate returns to Silicon Valley on April 3rd.

Carbon removal needs to quadruple to meet climate goals, researchers say. 🔍 New policies are required to drive up demand for CDR, the authors said, with funding for new technologies falling since 2020. The $856 million invested in new startups last year accounted for around 1% of total climate tech spending. #marketresearch #datacollection #survey #CarbonRemoval #ClimateGoals #CDR #Sustainability #ClimateChange #GreenTech #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction #EcoInnovation #SustainableFuture #CleanTech #ClimateFunding #EnvironmentalPolicy #TechForGood #CarbonTech #ClimateInvestments #ZeroCarbon #ClimateSolutions

Noted on Caffeine daily, is the Climate Tech Summit Aotearoa on the 20th of June. It is good to see this conference offering free places and there is an unwritten rule that this will invite in the outliers. History tells us the outliers are bound to be disruptive, but history also tells us the way we organise conferences does not welcome disruptors in a tightly held program. I have noted that this forces the disruptors to band together to form alternative groups that further alienates them from the discussion. Thus, losing the opportunity to question assumptions. I have no concrete suggestions to make as to how conferences might be organised in the future, but I do know that the current accepted format is tired and in need of a rethink. Once again without knowing how this will be conducted, I do know what the hallmark of a good conference must be. It must not relegate different thinkers to the classic breakout model where the status quo inevitably prevails. Being human, we rush to early consensus, especially as breakouts are carefully timed. New ideas worth considering can only come from the clash of perspectives and must be curated by those with insight. Our world is suffering from speed thinking when we know in our hearts that too much is overlooked to guarantee long term success for people, planet and dare I say profit.
