Silverline’s in-house climate scientist and Emmy-winning meteorologist takes a look at the impact of extreme weather. From farms to the insurance companies, weather is the topic of the year and the conversation will continue without climate solutions.

Earth Day 2023 finds many of America’s top environmental and energy reporters gathering in Boise, Idaho for the annual conference of the Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ). This yearly event brings together journalists from across the climate landscape to discuss the challenges of serving as the proverbial canary in the coal mine about our changing climate. One topic of growing interest is covering climate issues through a cultural lens, whether through music, television or art – all this as our ever-changing environment and emerging technologies generate new interest in this important topic.

Unprecedented climate legislation is opening a vast array of opportunities for those in the cleantech space. The $369 billion dollars in federal funding is proving to be a gamechanger by delivering critical investments to climate tech developers and manufacturers. Companies are taking advantage of tax incentives and grants for solar, wind, and other renewable energy projects. Developments are moving even faster in e-mobility, where Americans now can now tap into a $7,500 credit to buy EVs. The law also requires that some manufacturing and assembly of EVs happens right here at home in the U.S. And as an important first, this law will dedicate between around $60 billion to environmental and climate justice efforts.

On the heels of the most transformative climate legislation in history, the clean energy movement is poised for action. Against this backdrop, how can climate and cleantech attract and elevate diverse voices that reflect the communities where equitable and just climate action is needed most? As a cleantech communications agency with diversity, equity, and inclusion at our core, Silverline wondered how Black leaders in cleantech are addressing the issue, so we partnered with Canary Media to develop and sponsor a forum on Accelerating Black Leadership in Climate Tech.

September could be called Climate Month 2022, as those working in the climate space navigated accessing the federal funding provided by the Inflation Reduction Act while attending ClimateWeekNYC and RE+ in Anaheim. Silverline leaders share insights after participating in both events, with an emphasis on clean energy in buildings and infrastructure, the happy marriage of solar and energy storage, and environmental justice.
