Meeting the challenges of a changing climate requires new materials and processes for how we produce, move, store and use energy. These companies are working to mitigate the most severe consequences of climate change while building the backbone of our economy for decades to come.
“Climate change is the biggest issue of our generation, but we can’t let fear paralyze us into preserving the status quo. We must use it as a motivator. We should look at this as an opportunity to leverage human ingenuity and innovation to make meaningful change.”
