In the field of climate change, attention focuses on the efforts of wealthier nations like the United States with its Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and the European Union with its Green Deal Industrial Plan. Those discussions tend to overlook the Global South. While Western economies have contributed over 80% of cumulative global emissions to date,

Each year at the SOSV Climate Tech Summit (Sept 26-27 / free & virtual), we invite leading VCs to join our classic panel on early-stage climate tech investing. And we ask all the questions. Who are they writing checks to and why? Which climate technologies are underrated, which are overrated, and which are just emerging?  

Wind and solar energy are a lynchpin in any realistic plan to curb climate change. They accounted for 12% of global electricity production in 2022 but are expected to surpass 40% by 2030, assuming we stay on course for net-zero emissions by 2050. Their weakness, however, is intermittency and the high cost of its remedy—storing

With greenhouse gas emissions still growing, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is fast becoming an imperative for addressing climate change. The question is, can it be done at scale and at a price the world can afford? We’re diving deep on that topic at the upcoming SOSV Climate Tech Summit.

We just completed our two-day summit (Oct. 25-26), which included 22 panels and fireside chats with leading founders, VCs, researchers and policy experts. We had a great turnout, with more 6700 people registered this year, from 88 countries. We recognize that the event was not available during waking hours in much of the world so

The challenge is how to provide clean baseload power when the sun doesn’t shine, and the wind doesn’t blow. To function, electric grids need a minimum amount of power 24/7. Could grid-scale battery storage and green hydrogen solve the problem?

Globally, agriculture generates 31% of CO2 equivalent emissions, accounts for 70% of freshwater withdrawals, and drives 90% of deforestation. At the same time, climate change impacts like drought, heat, and flooding increase the risk of crop failure and famines. If farming is a risk to the climate and at risk from the climate, could we solve both problems by bringing it indoors?
