Introducing Climate Optimist, Our Newsletter for the Climate-Curious
Over the past year at Twoº & Rising, we’ve been deep in conversations with movers and shakers across cleantech and sustainability, and one thing is clear: now is the time to act on climate—and the stakes have never been higher.
In the past few weeks alone, we’ve seen devastating wildfires sweep through California, destroying entire cities and displacing one hundred thousand families. These aren’t just isolated events; they’re symptoms of a warming world—and a warning of what could become the new normal if we do not accelerate climate efforts. At the same time, the incoming administration’s historical stance on climate change has often prioritized short-term interests over long-term sustainability.
This moment demands clarity, focus, and bold action more than ever.
In doing our part, we are launching Climate Optimist—a smart, weekly(ish) guide designed for everyone from the climate-curious to the climate-savvy who remain optimistic that we can meet our climate targets—together. Because while the challenges ahead are daunting, we also have unprecedented opportunities to act, innovate, and transform the systems that got us here.
Our goal is to make sure you’re only reading the most impactful and actionable insights in climate and mobility. No filler, no fluff. Just a curated mix of breakthroughs, big ideas, and sharp commentary on the solutions that can help keep global warming under 2ºC. And if there’s nothing groundbreaking to share? We’ll sit out that week—because we’re not here to clutter up your inbox.
The truth is, optimism isn’t about ignoring the problems; it’s about recognizing that solutions exist, and we have the tools to scale them. Our recent challenges may feel overwhelming, but they’re also a wake-up call—and a chance to build resilience, innovation, and hope into our response.
