Hey there, happy Wednesday!

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

⚡️ We’re a day late with the digest this week since Barcelona went offline on Monday. It turned into a pleasant surprise - I don’t remember the last time I spent a Monday playing beachvolleyball. 🏐

👋 Make sure to NOT read this weekly digest on email but online here - otherwise it gets cut off in the middle by Gmail.

inClimate Updates

6 super quick updates:

1️⃣ You can now filter members by their climate sector focus. Looking to connect with people in Solar, Biochar, NbS…? No problem! Make sure to update your profile so that folks can find you based on your focus.

2️⃣ We updated our climate taxonomy. You’ll find 12 core industries sub-divided into 98 sectors as filters and tags all across the platform - companies, members and jobs.

3️⃣ You can now filter jobs by funding stage, sector, visa sponsorships, founders’ gender, and technology.

4️⃣ We launched applications tracking for jobseekers and employers. You can now track all your applications and employers can see all interested candidates and get in touch. This is v1.0 so please feel free to leave feedback.

5️⃣ We’ve decided that WhatsApp is not the right medium anymore for our sub-communities, so we’re now setting them up on community.inclimate.com

6️⃣ You can now easily navigate back and forth between inClimate.com and the community space via the big blue button in the bottom-right corner.
