In Episode 0 of the six-part series "HEAT - Beyond 1.5" we confront a difficult truth: despite all our efforts toward climate protection, we must also learn to live with the consequences of the climate crisis. What can we expect as climate change increasingly impacts our daily lives? And what technologies or business models might help us better adapt to the looming climate catastrophe? In this introductory episode, David Wortmann, founder and CEO of the Cleantech-focused consultancy DWR eco, and Niko Samios, founder of the early-stage investor PT1, set the stage for upcoming discussions. They will meet with leading experts to better understand the realities of the climate crisis and with entrepreneurs and investors to explore solutions that can help us navigate the challenges of climate adaptation.
