Two trends have arguably influenced the recent trajectory of climate tech more than any others, they are: 1) investor appetite has ballooned for climate tech related activity, as consumer demand is proven, and market readiness is established, and 2) increased public awareness, private activity, and political will has been applied to climate tech over the last three years - moving this nascent area of tech away from a niche social interest to a mainstream movement.
