Why aren’t VCs funding tech to help us adapt to climate change?

I love it when a plan comes together!  (anyone else remember watching the A-Team!!)  Some time ago I wondered why we in the cleantech ecosystem were afraid to talk about Adaption. Did it mean  accepting defeat in the mission to fight climate change? Not at all in my mind. Born from a conversation in Munich with cleantech VC Ulrich Seitz we explored this theme. We even recorded a podcast specifically on the ‘Adaptation’ theme. You can watch it here Now Ulrich has gone on to found the ‘Adapt to your wolrd’ conference in Muncih in April, you can sign up or find out more here  It's a start, and it's a complex issue. Who pays? Is it morally correct to make money saving people from death and suffering? Is it a problem we can bury our heads in the sand against?  Of course not. We need to accept adaptation is needed. Adaptation needs big investment.

What are your thoughts?
