Inspired by the Project Drawdown and the EU Green Taxonomy, iClima Earth has identified five segments that effectively combine and reflect a wide spectrum of climate change solutions. The companies in Clima’s universe provide solutions across the following segments: Green Energy, Green Transportation, Water & Waste Improvements, Enabling Solutions and Sustainable Products.
These five broader themes were further broken down into 29 sub-segments. The solutions in these sub-segments directly help the avoidance of GHG emissions, enable direct reduction of GHG emissions, improvements in energy efficiency, and/or contribute to carbon sequestration.
