Last Week in Climate #157

Your weekly climate digest - finally back every Tuesday (sometimes Wednesday) 🤞

Jun 04, 2026

Good morning from Barcelona!

Told myself that I would send this weekly climate digest consistently again, every Tuesday, but then I blinked and suddenly two months have passed since the last edition.

So I finally blocked my Mondays to make sure you get your weekly digest again.

(They might still go out a day late sometimes - still a human writing these)

🤞 I’ll keep it short and sweet:

This week:

👋 Community Updates
💸 Closed Funding Rounds
💼 Jobs with salary ranges (new)
📆 Events & Opportunities
📰 News

From the Community

There was too much going on on the inClimate feed last week to list it all here - intros, companies hiring, questions asked…

Little favour to ask:

Take a moment to read people’s intros and drop a comment - maybe you know someone they should talk to, have some advice, or just want to say hi?

The true magic happens once people on inClimate start connecting each other.

You will meet some awesome people in the process too - win win! :)
