Australia's largest hub dedicated to climate action has opened in the heart of Sydney.
The new Greenhouse Climate Tech Hub, located in Salesforce Tower on George Street, Circular Quay, brings innovators, investors, climate action groups, academics and corporates together to find solutions to the world’s most serious climate problems.
The hub, which opened on 25 October, is the result of a $31 million grant from the City of Sydney. Greenhouse can accommodate more than 400 people working on climate innovation projects including renewable energy, the circular economy and our biosphere.

So far 20 members have signed up to the hub, tackling an incredibly diverse range of solutions, from carbon capture and storage to smart grid management and sustainable agriculture. Some of the founding members include:
