Key takeaways

Innovate and focus on solving climate change with a tangible impact, rather than just talking about it.
Prioritize talent and make a conscious effort to elevate and retain them.
Avoid scaling too quickly, as it can lead to a decrease in employee morale and increase the likelihood of failure.
Focus on producing products that are better and cheaper, making it compelling for people to adopt them, even if they don’t care about climate change.
Be brutally honest about the challenges and limitations of climate change and avoid getting caught up in ideology.
Use data and proven methods to support the 1.5°C target and create a tipping point for change.
Create a sense of urgency and a shared sense of purpose among team members.
Focus on what can be done in the present moment and avoid getting bogged down in philosophical discussions or trying to “save” the world.
