Climate is a cross-industry thematic.
10 Sub Sectors spanning 3 Industry Groups Energy, the Environment and Infrastructure.
50 Clusters across those 10 Sub Sectors (5 clusters per sub-sector, somewhat an artificial constraint for 1.0)
The renewable energy sector creates opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while stimulating economic opportunities, alleviating poverty, and increasing resilience to the impacts of climate change. Energy technologies encompass tools and techniques to generate and use energy in every segment of our societies, from powering the places we live, work and play, to fuelling our transportation vehicles and industries. … transform their energy fleet with renewable energy technologies, ranging from biomass briquettes and solar PV cells to large-scale district heating plants with co-combustion of renewable energy sources.
