Hey there 👋,

Skander here.

This year has been a whirlwind for climate. So let’s take some time this year to answer the big questions:

What is the impact of climate change so far? The costs, the consequences, and the urgency we’re facing.
What are the big narratives? From AI’s energy footprint to China’s dominance, and the impact of the funding ice age.
What will happen in 2025? Emerging trends, political headwinds, and the next big bets.

We’ll explore what’s going well—breakthroughs in solar, EVs, and batteries—and what’s not moving forward: the AI energy crunch, the funding freeze, and political roadblocks. Together, let’s dissect 2024 to understand how the climate story is evolving—and where it’s heading next.

In the past year, Climate Drift has become a space for exploring solutions and helping people break into climate. We’ve run 3 cohorts of our career accelerator, thousands of founders, investors, and professionals have dove into our analysis and we were lucky to connect founders, investors, and professionals.

It’s a community learning how to scale what works—and what comes next.

We wouldn’t be where we are without their help.
A huge thanks goes to Brent Eveleth, who designed this deck.
