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.

P.S. If you care about climate change, you need to read Cipher News. I’m proud to support Cipher’s incredible team, led by Amy Harder, because they go beyond the headlines to provide in-depth news and expert analysis on the people and innovations advancing real climate solutions.

It is man's intelligence that makes him so often behave more stupidly than the beasts. Man is impelled to invent theories to account for what happens in the world. Unfortunately, he is not quite intelligent enough, in most cases, to find correct explanations. So that when he acts on his theories, he behaves very often like a lunatic. Thus, no animal is clever enough, when there is a drought, to imagine that the rain is being withheld by evil spirits, or as punishment for its transgressions. Therefore you never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. No horse, for example would kill one of its foals to make the wind change direction. Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the pr...

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...

THE LEARNING HUB: To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool, To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement, To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return, To live is to risk dying, To hope is to risk despair, To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. ~Leo Buscaglia (Art: Photograph by Izis Bidermanas) ©THE LEARNING HUB 2023
