#38 The business of climate solutions with Hansi Singh

Today we are chatting with Dr. Hansi Singh, climate scientist and co-founder and CEO of Planette, a climate tech start-up. Hansi was formerly an Assistant Professor at the University of Victoria. During the pandemic she began working on a research project that evolved into Planette and she recently decided to leave academia and dedicate her time to growing her business.

In our conversation with Hansi, we talked about her past research program at the University of Victoria and her transition to the private sector. Planette’s aim is to provide decision-ready probabilistic seasonal to decadal climate forecasts for business, so we also spent some time talking about the evolution and growing academic and societal interest in decadal climate prediction in recent years. Hansi encouraged more climate scientists to consider entrepreneurship to help ensure that the private sector makes use of the best science for adaptation and transitional planning and action. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Hansi Singh.
