Why They’re Rising Now Several converging forces have accelerated the emergence of climate tech startups: Increasing urgency of climate change More frequent extreme weather, rising temperatures, public awareness, scientific reports — all raising demand for solutions. Policy & regulation Governments globally are setting net-zero targets, putting in place carbon pricing , subsidies & incentives for clean energy, stricter environmental regulations. This opens market demand and reduces risk.

The concept is simple — companies that emit less carbon than their allotted limit can sell their unused emissions credits to others that exceed theirs. In theory, this creates a financial incentive for businesses to cut emissions and invest in cleaner technologies .

Countries and companies can meet their climate goals at lower costs while still making meaningful progress toward sustainability . The European Union’s Emissions Trading System , for example, has successfully reduced emissions from power plants and industries since its launch. However, critics warn that carbon trading can also act as a temporary fix rather than a long-term solu...
