Matt came up with this concept on a simple premise: Today’s climate reports are very similar to technical reports 30 years ago. It is mainly covered by a few mainstream media niches, trade publications and small teams. However, climate, like technology, is being integrated into the business plan of almost every company. It deserves a more comprehensive examination.

Strategy.
