John Robinson On Investing In Adaptation Tech
Technology is crucial in the effort to prepare for, and protect from, climate risks. However, we’re still in the early stages of figuring out how to think about climate adaptation technology (or ‘CAT’) as an investment category – and how to direct early-stage capital into this vital space. John Robinson, a technology investor with Mazarine Ventures, joins this week’s Climate Proofers to talk about his research into CAT, and go over the findings of Mazarine’s surveys of early-stage investors on this crucial theme. Louie and John also discuss water-related climate adaptation tech, one of the hottest CAT subcategories, and dive into the market initiatives, public policies, and regulatory efforts that could spur greater engagement by VCs in climate-proofing activities.
