The problems caused by climate change are often in the headlines. It’s less often that we hear about the progress being made in the fight against it. But through my investments and work with Breakthrough Energy, I’m lucky to have insight into a lot of the most exciting innovations—and the companies bringing them to life.
At this year’s Breakthrough Energy Summit in London, over 100 of them have gathered to share the solutions they’ve been working on that are ready to get to work and tackle climate change today. They include:



Window glass so energy efficient that it performs like a see-through wall
Microbial products, already used on 5 million acres, that make crops need less fertilizer
EV battery recycling that recovers critical minerals and slashes emissions
Technology that turns plant waste into carbon-trapping bricks
Advanced power lines that can double our current grid’s transmission
These are only a few of the incredible innovations addressing the five grand challenges of climate change: manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, electricity, and buildings. What’s most exciting, though, is that they aren’t just ideas or prototypes; they’re proven technologies that are already commercially deployed or about to be. I’ve just published a blog post that goes into more detail about them—and many others at the summit.
The Clean Industrial Revolution isn’t a far-off dream. It’s here and on full display in London. And the BE Summit isn’t just a showcase for these clean technologies—it’s a launchpad. By bringing together leaders from government and industry, we’re catalyzing the investments needed to scale them up, accelerate their adoption, and amplify their impact in the fight against climate change.
You can read more about these ready-to-work solutions, and what makes this year’s BE Summit so different from years past, on Gates Notes now.
As always, thanks for being an Insider.

THE LEARNING HUB:Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me.

Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me. At a certain moment in his life,the idea came to him of what he called 'the love of your fate.' Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, 'This is what I need.' It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment--not discouragement--you will find the strength is there. Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow. Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. You’ll see that this is really true. Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not. The crisis throws you back, and when you are require...

THE LEARNING HUB: 6 LESSONS FROM THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH

1. There are many things more precious than money It is easy to be enslaved by the mindset that money is the most imperative treasure in society. Money is always transient, just like most things in life. It comes and goes, but how much are you willing to pay for the fleeting pleasure? The consequences of a money-mentality are much more damaging than the value of money itself. Are you willing to put your mental, emotional, and physical well-being on the line? There are things more precious than money. Here are a few: -Experiences -Genuine connections -A feeling of purpose -Genuine concern for helping others -Eddie says, “there are many things in this world that no amount of money will buy you, and some things are priceless beyond measure.” 2. Weakness can be turned into hatred Weak people lack the ability to maintain any level of emotional intelligence. People who lack emotional intelligence and a strong sense of self are easily influenced to hate. Their values and convictions are not b...
