Show Summary |



Episode 6 of this carbon-focused series provides a bird's-eye view of the local climate tech ecosystem with the help of Climate Salad founder and local angel investor @Mick Liubinskas



We map the solutions to climate problems across the reduction and removal of emissions, adapting to our changing environment, and improving how we interact with nature.



Mick also explains why he believes that most Australian climate tech startups are fundamentally undervalued.
