The term ‘climate tech’ has evolved over the past decade to describe companies and technologies aiming to mitigate or reverse the impact on the climate, while also adapting to its changes. However, as the scope of climate tech expands, discussions have emerged about renaming the sector to better capture its evolving focus. Alternatives like ‘planetary health’ and ‘resilience tech’ have been proposed, each with its own merits. The need for a new term reflects the industry’s growth and the desire to convey its broader impact beyond just climate solutions.
