Hey there, happy Tuesday!

📩 Here is your weekly digest of everything that happened in Climate last week.

Before we dive in, an important announcement…

💚 We’ve always believed that meaningful connections are at the heart of solving complex challenges. That’s why today, I’m excited to share the next step in our journey: inClimate Dating.

We’ve heard from so many climate professionals that it’s hard to find people who truly get it. So we thought — why not build a space where shared purpose can lead to shared connection?

It’s early days, but I’d love your thoughts. You can learn more here and get early access:
