Welcome back to Wicked Problems. Ulrich Seitz has worked in climate tech for 15 years - as an entrepreneur, a venture investor, and as an advisor. And he thinks a boom in investment in climate adaptation technologies that face the consequences of climate change is right around the corner, even while not giving up on mitigation efforts.

Co-hosts Richard Delevan and Claire Brady talk with Ulrich about his views on the most investable sectors in adaptation, like water management and soil conservation. He talks about his Climate Adaptation Project, which aims to increase awareness and identify investment opportunities in adaptation. They discuss how extreme weather events and natural disasters are raising public awareness about climate change and the urgent need for adaptation strategies. Seitz emphasizes the significance of value creation in entrepreneurship and shares how dealing with smart individuals in his first company inspired his career path.
