As global temperatures climb, with an increase of 2.3°F (1.3°C) above pre-industrial levels, the imperative to address climate change has never been more urgent. Climate technology innovations in renewable energy, electric vehicles, energy storage, and carbon capture are leading the charge in combating these challenges. Despite facing headwinds like anti-Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policies and a slowdown in venture capital activity, the climate tech sector has shown remarkable resilience. At Alinea Ventures, we believe climate tech is evolving from a sector driven purely by impact to one that offers substantial financial returns—a critical investment opportunity for our time.
