My top climate reads this week
A friend once said “well read is actually a euphemism for being jobless”.
Ignoring the possible truth in that one-liner, I continue reading a lot on climate tech – being in climate tech consulting & climate education, I can at least console myself that it is my job to be jobless.
𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐩 10 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 – from about a 100 – I did on climate tech past ten days. These comprise brief analyses, detailed interviews and some that are almost white papers. But I found good stuff – perspectives, new approaches, stuff like that – in each of them.
Some of them aren’t exactly super-recent, but I hope they are useful to you.
