Executive Summary

Climate change announced itself with a vengeance in 2023, as floods, fires and storms caused more damage and havoc than ever before. Meanwhile, regulators in the EU pressed ahead with efforts to enforce climate disclosures, and regulators in the US delayed and delayed. Heading into 2024, there are signs that tougher market conditions – particularly in tech – are easing, and capital is once again seeking out opportunity, also in the climate space. With these events in mind, and analysing trends in the net zero and climate risk spaces we cover, Verdantix analysts have made 10 different predictions for the year, spanning climate technology markets, skills development, climate adaptation and transition planning, and value chain emissions. If you work in the climate space, read these predictions to look around the metaphorical corner, and prepare for what this new year will bring.
