Climate tech, or climate technology, is a term that encompasses a wide range of technologies and innovations aimed at combating and mitigating the effects of climate change. This field intersects various sectors, including energy, transportation, agriculture, construction, and waste management, with the primary goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting environmental sustainability.

In the energy sector, climate tech includes the development of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric, which are essential for reducing dependence on fossil fuels. In transportation, it focuses on low-emission solutions like electric vehicles and biofuels, thereby reducing the environmental impact of one of the most polluting sectors.

In agriculture, climate tech employs precision farming techniques and sustainable practices to increase efficiency and reduce climate impact. In construction, it focuses on sustainable materials and innovative designs to improve energy efficiency in buildings.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) represents another crucial area, enabling the capture of CO2 emissions and their safe storage.

Additionally, climate tech includes software and analytical tools to help businesses and individuals monitor and reduce their environmental impact, thus supporting the transition to a greener and more sustainable economy.

This also includes digital sustainability and therefore the CO2e emission measurement tool Karma Metrix.
