Climatebase Fellowship - Week 1
Learnings
Climate
Climate change discovered all the way back in the 1850s, by an american woman -
Eunice Foote
Emission cuts should make up about 96% of the distance to net 0, and the bulk of the cuts are needed in the next decade
Carbon removal isn't making a difference yet - all removal that has been done to date is equivalent to around 30 seconds worth of worldwide emissions
The best climate solutions are:
Evidence based
Cheap
Ready to go
Targeted (geographically)
Granular (IE. not huge projects that need too much funding and red tape)
Nature doesn't have a design problem, people do
In general people are aware that climate change exists and is a problem, but the messaging can be scary.
Net 0 is about measuring how poorly we're doing, why not switch it to measure the good we are doing?
When building products, don't just think of the now, think about what happens after
Time to stop taking from the earth and instead reusing what we've already taken
Work & Projects
Energy, transport, food and agriculture make up over 75% of current climate jobs
Work should not be an obligation, you should be able to find a sense of purpose and fulfillment in it
All the fellows are new here, don't worry about being inexperienced
Just ask if you want help. The worst they can say is no.
When coming up with project ideas:
Notice problems in your day-to-day
Become an expert on your passions / something valuable
Pay attention to changes in the world around you (covid, AI etc.)
Talk to people and organizations about their problems
Launch fast, get evidence to see if it will work
Competitions isn't necessarily bad, but if there is none why so?
Never do the "same as x but cheaper". Do things different, not cheaper
Most ideas don't work out, but it's a learning process
