Is this project intentionally leaving out political organizations? Fighting the politics of austerity and capitalist oligarchy is more important than evaluating photovoltaic efficiency/viability.

We don't have to convice everyone to stop flying. We can start with to convincing everyone to fly less . Decarbonise in the meantime, if you can, of course.
I don't think this is a very practical approach. People both need and want to fly places. We need to accept that and find ways to make flight greener.

Cool resource! I just started down this path as a strict requirement for my next career move. It would be awesome to include job listings and requirements for people that want to find a job at a climate focused company.
Thanks so much and congrats on your new career trajectory! We'd love to integrate with some job boards in the future. In the meantime I can point you to a blog post with some great advice on this topic: https://medium.com/@leventov/how-to-find-a-job-in-a-tech-com...

> How about O&G companies with big green tech budgets This troubles me endlessly. My gut says no, as I can't imagine some of the largest companies in the world reorienting sufficiently, and I feel that they should quickly become sidelined as relics of a different time. But it seems unreasonable to think they don't have some value to add with the large budgets and pressure they are under. Gladly be informed on this to…
I argue that it does, as someone doing a search for competitors or alternatives might be caught unaware if this is a blind spot for them. For example, you have Drivy (bought by GetAround... a while back?) and yet you're missing a large portion of the CarShare landscape. Do you count Zipcar? (Avis-Budget group, but the largest player and running EVs in London). Maven? (GM) DriveNow/car2go? (BMW, and EV-centric in Euro…
And your mention of Zipcar, Maven, etc makes me think it'd be great to include the entities that own or fund each organization. Definitely means there's more information to hunt down, but crowd-sourcing can lessen that pain.

#36Hi all, creator here–so cool to see this on HN. I made Climatescape after seeing dozens of people go through a similar process of cataloging interesting climate-focused companies in spreadsheets, notes, and elsewhere. The goal is to unify these efforts and provide the content free to anyone who might find it useful. The website is open source[1] and content is Creative Commons licensed. This is really just the beginn…

#39It is interesting to see a list of organizations compiled in one place, to get a sense of what is going on in the world. But I read the headline wrong. I saw the words "Mapping" and "landscape", and was expecting actual maps. I thought I'd be looking at visualizations of where in the world each organization is having an impact.
