Why Climate Tech Will Be Bigger Than the Internet Revolution

Across the world, climate-conscious young people are graduating from universities highly uncertain about their professional futures. At the same time, companies like Tesla are gaining ascendancy, while many promising climate tech companies fall under the mainstream radar. How can professors and teachers prove to students that their professional fortunes can be found by working to prevent carbon emissions, rather than by growing social networks or improving search? How can we show that we’re poised for a climate tech takeover that could eclipse the success of digital revolution powerhouses like Facebook and Google? And how can we demonstrate that the most certain path to a fulfilling life, meaningful career and economic prosperity lies in climate tech? Learn how to inspire your students to see their generation as post-digital, pre-net zero and instrumental to transforming the future.
