🤩 Action is gearing up on climate change, and investment in #climatetech has grown to stunning new heights.

My new report with @PwC looks at market trends and where there’s untapped potential for investors and policymakers. 🧵 1/8
🤪 The market is hot. Year-on-year growth in climate tech investment is 210%, with more than $60bn invested in startups in H1 2021 alone. 14¢ of every VC dollar is now invested in climate tech.

We’re now tracking 3000+ active climate tech startups.

📈 Megadeals are on the rise, and driving much of this recent growth. The average deal size in H1 2021 is now $96m, nearly quadruple the US$27m it was one year prior. 3/8

We have entered THE EXPONENTIAL AGE, a time of tech acceleration that leaves behind our economic & social norms. This gap explains many of today’s pressing issues. How can we resolve them? #exponential

🚀 The book argues that we are entering a new era of human history, the #Exponential Age, driven by a wave of transformative, exponential tech. It explains why this change has come about, what effect it has on economics/politics/society, & what we should do about it.

💡 The Exponential Age’s hallmark is a dramatic shift in how technologies work - true to the observation by George Orwell that “every now and again something happens - ultimately traceable to changes in industrial technique - and the whole spirit of life changes.”

With lots of people launching e-mail newsletters, I thought I would share the first regular ones I launched.

@TheEconomist's Politics and Business This Week back in 1996. We got them to about 250k subscribers each. 1/3

@cjgbest @hamishmckenzie @CaseyNewton @tomstandage
We had to make sure people new had to type in their email address. Hence the details below.

2/3
The mails took a long time to send, typically at 8-10 hours via the mail relay service used. I would have to call Gordon (the guy who ran it) to check how the process was going. (Their internet connection was busy sending my email.)
