    S3-E15 The Missing Link in Climate Tech?|Ft Milene, Founder of Mazeworks

    In this episode under the Climate Catalysts theme of GET SET GREEN, we explore how climate technology is not just about data but about communication, decision-making, and building a strong business case for action.Meet Milene Pardo Figueroa, Founder of MazeWorks, working at the intersection of climate intelligence, data systems, and sustainability communication. Her work focuses on helping organisations translate complex climate data into clear, decision-ready insights that can drive both strategy and action.Through this conversation, we go beyond climate dashboards and explore how climate tech must evolve into a tool for communication one that helps businesses understand risk, justify sustainability investments, and integrate climate thinking into core decision-making.We also discuss why many climate solutions fail to scale not because of lack of data, but because of gaps in communication, business framing, and stakeholder alignment.Wha we discussed:1. Why climate data alone is not enough to drive action2. The role of communication in scaling climate tech3. Building a strong business case for climate solutions4. Translating complex climate intelligence into decision-making tools5. Careers in Sustainability.
