It’s been a busy few months since my last post, with big changes for me — I’ve gone all-in on my climate journey, leaving my big-tech job and starting a new company to realize and build on some of the ideas I’ve been writing about in these posts. …

Axios recently published an article claiming that “the emissions-data arms race is on”, pointing to the rapid growth and potential consolidation of carbon accounting software and services, driven by pressure from current and anticipated ESG reporting regulations. While carbon accounting and reporting is certainly a real need, I have to…

My last post made the claim that data is a key lever for reshaping the climate-change-response system and proposed a high-level design of a data platform for climate — a combination of private data and public data platform infrastructure, data applications, data standards, and data sources: In this post I’m…

This post continues my climate journey as a software systems thinker seeking my place in climate. Climate change is an incredibly complex problem, underpinned by an equally complex system that is driven by intricate interactions between a large set of forces and actors. …

This post continues my climate journey as a software systems thinker seeking my place in climate. See my earlier posts for more context on my journey and on systems thinking in climate. Coming from the software technology world, one thing that’s really surprised me as I’ve gotten deeper into climate…

As I continue my climate journey, one of my goals is to seek out parts of the climate-solution space where I can have the most impact. Since I’m coming to the table not with a preordained scientific solution, but with my full systems thinking toolbox and a model of the…

Thanks for the comment! And great question. I actually keep going back and forth on whether to make Nature/Planet an explicit actor. The way it stands now, I am treating the planet/nature as an implicit subject reacting to human action -- since the human-action system is at the root of…

In this post I continue my journey (started here) as a software systems thinker approaching the problem of climate change from a systems perspective. Having laid out the basics of system thinking, I can now dive into the climate problem and start exploring the system that underpins it. …

In my first post I described myself as a software systems thinker on a climate journey. Before going too deep into that journey, I thought it’d be useful to say more about what I mean by systems thinking, and share some of the techniques and tools I’ve learned in my…
