About Heatmap: Since launching earlier this year, Heatmap’s original reporting has broken stories and provided invaluable analysis on the biggest news in climate, energy, and sustainability, covering everything from hydrogen policy to wildfire smoke to electric vehicles. We’ve debunked the notion that building electric vehicles will require fewer workers, dived early and deep into renewable energy’s difficult year, quantified the unprecedented impact of the wildfire smoke event on the East Coast, and assembled the first comprehensive database of the government’s grants under the Inflation Reduction Act. Our newsroom has also launched an inaugural Heatmap Climate Poll, reported extensively on emerging decarbonization trends, created practical guides on how to navigate our changing planet, and more.

Heatmap has built a large, influential audience of readers who care about climate and sustainability and appreciate the breaking news, insights and analysis from our editorial team of 12 full-time journalists and 25 contributors. Our community is not just passionate about climate change and decarbonization; it's also a highly influential network of decision-makers, business leaders, government and NGO officials, entrepreneurs, VC's, legal and policy experts, academics, journalists and concerned consumers who take action.
