Israel’s State of Climate Tech 2022 - Update

Climate Challenge Map

The PLANETech Climate Challenge Map presents the main challenges to successful climate change mitigation and adaptation, across all activities of our daily life and natural ecosystems (Figure 1). The ‘Israel’s State of Climate Tech 2021’ report classified startups and companies according to four climate challenges areas: The Built Environment, Materials & Manufacturing, Land Use, and Nature, each of which contain 5 explicit challenges – 20 challenges in total. 6 challenge area, Digital, that includes 2 new challenges. ‘Carbon Management, Risk & Finance’ - digital platforms that support climate actions by individuals, communities, organizations, and financial institutions, provide metrics for climate risk assessment, and offer digital financial instruments and mechanisms to advance climate action and enhance resilience. ‘Sustainable Digital Infrastructure’- software and hardware-based approaches and designs that reduce the resource consumption of the digital services and infrastructure, and lower the industry’s growing electricity demand and carbon footprint. The PLANETech Challenge Map provides a common platform for the Israeli climate tech ecosystem and has been adopted by the government in its newly announced climate tech program. It has also been adopted by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) in their mapping of six European climate tech ecosystems. We have recently amended the challenge map and added a fifth
