In 2023, I completed the AirMiners Boot Up programme. It changed how I think about my career.

The Wake-Up Call

I'd been vaguely aware of climate change for years. Who hasn't? But there's a difference between knowing something intellectually and feeling it in your bones.

The Boot Up programme gave me that visceral understanding.

What I Learned

A few things that stuck with me:

  1. The scale is staggering - We need to remove gigatons of CO2
  2. The technology exists - This isn't a science problem
  3. The economics are shifting - Climate solutions are becoming profitable
  4. Individual action matters - But systemic change matters more

What Now?

I'm still figuring this out. But I know I want my work to contribute to solutions, not problems.

More on this as I figure it out.
