We think that the current climate technology ecosystem - founders, funders, corporates, investors and policymakers - is too fragmented. We know we are not the only ones feeling it.
This Statement of Intent lays out some of the larger gaps that we have identified, alongside over 60 organizations that have influenced us. We hope, therefore, to bridge some of those gaps.
Now we want your help to explore bridges to cross these gaps. We have two asks, if you're with us.
Reality Check. This document is intended to be the start of a conversation. We invite your challenges (please don't hold back) and your questions (we're listening). Did we call it correctly? Does our collective take match your experience?
Participation. We're here to help solve your problems, if we can. Concretely, what you or your organisation most need right now, and what could you contribute in return, towards building a healthier climate technology ecosystem?
We don’t have all the answers. Nobody does. But we do have informed questions, a diverse network of people, and direct experience in the field. There we have created an online forum where you can engage with the key questions and challenges. In addition we are hosting two meet ups where we will be sharing some of this research and inviting you to discuss some specific questions around three gaps that we have identified around narrative, knowledge and investment. Please do join or register now if you are interested and available.
We hope that this meet up and forum are the start of a conversation, if not an argument. To build new pathways, we need robust challenges to business-as-usual, more and better collective thinking.
We invite both, from you. Life is short, the planet’s getting hotter, and we’re in a hurry.
Let’s go.
