Somil Aggarwal’s Post

Two days ago, we saw the the publishing of the Speed & Scale Tracker, an engaging visual presentation of our progress on the climate crisis. Here's what it taught me 📜👇🏽: It was helpful to take stock of what they thought was going well, and what they thought was going worst: 📈 What's going well: cars, solar + wind, batteries, electricity, project finance, venture capital 📉 What's going worst: coal + gas, methane, cows, forests, steel + cement, NBS, carbon removal This matches where we've seen the most private market interest. The challenge is how do we put our efforts into sectors that aren't as financially "pretty." Government subsidies and philanthropic dollars are crucial for this. The challenge here is for founders to build well-run enough copmanies tackling big enough problems for philanthropies to fund and governments to support once de-risked. 💰 If recent legislative progress has shown us anything, it's that people ARE paying attention, and we need tools like this to focus our attention. Shoutout to Jonathan Lipman and the Speed & Scale team for this great work. Link in the comments 🚀👇🏽
