1990s: Climate Change
2030s: Resilience
The difference? Policy won’t drive demand—nature will.
Resilience is climate tech in the era of climate consequence.
Thematic Thesis
-

EXPONENTIAL ENERGY
Building clean energy infrastructure and networks is non-optional. It is hard to overstate the economic opportunity associated with the growth of the energy sector through the 2030s.
-

RESILIENT SYSTEMS
Hardier crop varieties currently cost $100M+ each; wildfire losses are 2-4% of the US GDP; the depth of human systems toxicity is just starting to be understood; resilient investment is 6x cheaper than cleaning up.
