DEEP-ISH PERSPECTIVES
What tech will help us most in the fight against climate change?
The answer might not be what you think, read below to see what this week's Impact Technology professionals believe will fix our earth's most pressing environmental challenges.
Felix Collins, Cofounder @ Full Circle Biotech says: “If we're talking about accelerating the fight against climate change the most, I'm tempted to say something like Twitter.”
Thibaut Monfort Micheo, Cofounder @ FlexSea says: “It starts with material streams and facilities to handle them. I would say hardware and politics (laws, bans, taxes, restrictions, etc.) have to be on the same level as they propose the actual solutions to mitigate climate change and allow them to be put in action on the large scale…”
Saurabh Kumar, Senior Analyst @ Katapult VC says: “The major source of carbon emission are the big industries. The path they choose to become climate friendly is to offset carbon by investing in different carbon positive projects.”
