The world looks much different today than it did when the industrial revolution began in the 1800's. Harnessing new energy sources and building technology on scalable foundations led to an explosion of productivity that allowed us to live longer, healthier, more abundant lives. With those changes came unexpected damages too, and today there is a wave of sustainable innovation swelling up as innovators examine both the impacts we've had on the world and outdated technologies that beg for a reimagining. Under the ClimateTech umbrella fall thousands of innovations that will reshape our lives for the better as we seek to mitigate, reverse, and adapt to the changes driven by the technical explosion of the last 200 years.
