Projects to solve the climate crisis.

I recently read an article about how cities can help solve the climate crisis. It got me thinking.

What opportunities are opening for Indie Hackers to solve problems in the climate-biodiversity space (that go beyond carbon credits)?

A micro-thread 👇🏾

Changing attitudes

There's a growing drive toward greening cities (🌳🏙) to improve human health, buffer against climate impacts, and improve species conservation.

Greening cities could unlock $29 trillion in investment (yea, you read that right)

Benefits

🦅 Some animals, like peregrine falcons, have higher survival in cities than rural areas.

😇Green spaces boost mental health

🏡Green roofs can reduce building energy requirements by absorbing heat in the summer and insulating against heat loss in the winter.

Indie Hacker Opportunities

🏙 Platform aimed at city planners that uses satellite imagery to map existing green spaces and identify new green space locations (alongside $$ benefits).

🌳Marketplace that links organisations looking to reduce energy costs with alternative green solutions, like living infrastructure (roof/wall) suppliers.

🧠 Wellbeing app that guides users to local green spaces and guides them through nature based meditations.

TL;DR:

The world is changing. Awareness of ecosystem benefits is opening new opportunities for entrepreneurs to solve problems and make money.
