Climate tech companies have a problem: they don't show the data behind the story. The traditional non-climate tech narrative should not be the model for who is building products and solutions in the climate space? Why? Because hype is not a good substitute for technology that actually works for solving the problem it was designed for. So, what should climate tech companies do? A good starting point could be: - Define the main business thesis (e.g., solve problem X with technology Y) - Analyze how the company and its solution position themselves in the system they operate in (e.g., not only the market, but also the ecosystem) - Understand if it's a problem that can be effectively solved through technology, and what can be the upsides/downsides for the stakeholders involved - Provide data to back the main thesis It was very inspiring to learn about this journey from the example shared by Claudia Luiza Manfredi Gasparovic work on Nium Impact Report.

The harsh truth is that talking about climate tech is not always about techno-optimism. The not-so-nice problems of climate tech are something *we should* explore more too 🤒 This week marks the beginning of a new series to investigate the worst headaches that climate tech companies can face in today's landscape. Today, you can read about problem #1: media 📺 How can climate tech companies communicate better their impact without getting trapped in the usual PR machine? You'll find the example of how Nium has addressed this issue and came up with a great solution. Read everything here 👇

Want to know how microalgae can help cows emit less methane? Join us for an exciting lecture by Doron Eisenstadt, the CEO of TerraBiome, tomorrow at the PlanTech Conference (11:30, Climate Deep Dive 2). Doron will explain how adding microalgae changes the cows' microbiome composition, resulting in reduced methane emissions and helping to mitigate environmental damage and climate change.

Very excited to share my first Forbes article: https://lnkd.in/e537tQdH. Climate migration does not find its way into climate tech + investment conversations that often, but it's a current and growing concern worldwide, and could create new opportunities for climate innovation and impact. In this article I talk about some of the growing climate risks that can lead to more displacement, technology solutions that are currently on the table, and the need for the climate tech community to think about its own role in this equation. Adaptation and resilience are critical in this equation - both to protect people's homes as well as help host communities - yet these are sorely underfunded areas to date. There's much, much more to say about this topic, and I would love to hear from anyone who is thinking about it, working on it, keen to learn more, etc. Many thanks to Suma Reddy, Abrar Chaudhury, Dahna Goldstein, Chiara Trincia, Ken Sofer and Tara Clerkin for their time and feedback here.
