Growing a climate tech portal

Welcome to the second issue of Coding Climate’s newsletter!

So, what’s been happening on codingclimate.com?

Well, two new posts about some great learning opportunities went up:

1. A brief overview of On Deck’s Climate Tech Fellowship.
   Their second cohort’s application period closed a couple of weeks ago, but, given its popularity, I’d imagine there’ll be a third in the near future, if you’re keen. Read more about it here.

2. CONNECT University Summer School 2021 | Digital for our Planet
   A look into this free Summer School which:

   …aims to share knowledge and information about the way climate change is interconnected with digital transformation.

   While it may have wrapped up on Friday last week, recordings are available for on-demand viewing. More info and the agenda are available here.

Expanded focus

Other items in the works on the site include a slight shift in (or rather, expansion of) its focus:

Instead of simply serving as an avenue for me to post about interesting climate tech projects, I’m keen to make it a bit more of a climate tech portal. The aim is to achieve this by adding:

1. A “Who’s Who in Climate Tech” directory. There are SO many great startups and projects out there in this field. So, why not collate them? Work is well underway on this. Launching soon!

2. A climate tech jobs board. There seem to be a lot of great vacancies out there. Let’s collate as many of these into a single portal as we can. Also coming soon!

3. Finally, to expand on what I wrote above: instead of me simply writing about my own take on these climate tech projects, let’s open up the floor:

   Have you written about an interesting project or startup in this field? If not, would you like to? Why not share it with Coding Climate’s readers?

   Let’s grow this community! Please get in touch and let’s have a chat.

On that note, allow me to bring this newsletter issue to a close here. Anyone who knows me knows that I can ramble on about climate science, technology, and the junction of the two for hours! I’ll save my long-winded (yet ultimately fascinating 😉) diatribes for the site, shall I?

Thanks for reading!

Until the next time.
