🌱 Climate-focused investment has evolved dramatically over two decades. Clean Tech 1.0 (2003-2013) mobilized $25 billion over just 15 technologies, while today's Climate Tech era has deployed a staggering $300 billion across more than 75 climate solutions.   This growth reflects not just larger capital flows, but a more mature market supported by improved economics, diverse technologies, and stronger regulatory frameworks. The contrast between these periods demonstrates how the climate sector has transformed from a pioneering but volatile market into a mainstream investment opportunity. #EnergizeInsights #ClimateInvestment

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.
