CLIMATE TECH NYC
We are currently recruiting for a new initiative that we are excited about, dealing with what may the defining issue affecting future generations, – an online publication to be housed on ClimateTech.nyc that would involve research and writing about policy, laws, technological developments and startup activity impacting the climate.
As arguably the world’s leading city, the course that NYC pursues can serve as a model for the rest of the world and team members would get a ‘front row seat,’ helping to identify the best way forward.
GOVERNMENT
