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.

In the midst of turmoil, I found my unshakeable anchor in God

In the midst of turmoil, I found my unshakeable anchor in God. He was my rock, my fortress, and my savior all at once. Whenever I felt overwhelmed, I would run to Him for refuge, knowing that He would protect me from harm. His presence was my shield, deflecting the arrows of adversity, and His power was the horn of my salvation, announcing victory over my struggles. In my darkest moments, I would cry out to the Lord, who is worthy of all praise and honor. And every time, He would deliver me from the clutches of my enemies - whether they were physical, emotional, or spiritual. He was my stronghold, my place of safety, and my guiding light in the darkness. Through every trial and tribulation, I learned to trust in God's unwavering love and protection. He was my rock, my foundation, and my salvation - and I knew that with Him by my side, I could face anything that came my way. ~ 𝓙𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓷𝓮𝔂 𝓸𝓯 𝓛𝓲𝓯𝓮 The Learning Hub 2024

What's the biggest lesson that life has taught you?

When I was 14, liked a boy a lot because of his character, good behavior and I respect him a lot. He is my senior. While having a conversation with him once he funnily said “ sunaina, if you reduce your weight a bit you will look more gorgeous”. But I took it seriously, without thinking about what is right or wrong I blindly fixed to lose weight for him and I don't know ways to how to lose weight except avoiding food. I can somehow manage eating food when I was outside but what about at home? When my mother cooked chapati, bread, or whatever food for me without knowing to my parents I used to roll and hide that food in paper and while going to school I used to throw it on the roadside dustbin and this continued for 1 month. One day my mother prepare lunch for me and kept it in a box to take to school. I thought if food is present with me I will somehow tempt to eat so what I did while leaving my home I went to my apartment cellar and threw the food in Dustbin, watchmen observed thi...
