My Climate Tech Reading List
Newsletter, book, blog and twitter follow recommendations to get up the curve and stay up to date on all things Climate Tech
A number of friends and colleagues have asked me for reading recommendations: both for how to get up the curve and for how to stay up to date on all things climate change and climate tech related.
I hope you find them to be real page turners! And please comment with what’s missing from this list!
