As we see and feel the effects of climate change more and more every day, many businesses have begun prioritizing climate technology that reduces negative impacts on our natural environment and promotes environmentally friendly practices.
We’ve also seen coverage of specific climate technology, such as green tech and clean tech, surge over the past few years as well. There are many quality reporters, publications and newsletters out there that have dedicated coverage to these topics specifically.
Here are a few of the Kite Hill team’s favorite reporters in this space:
