Coming soon: Our 2026 list of Climate Tech Companies to Watch

即将发布：2026年值得关注的气候科技公司榜单

Earlier this month, the UN announced the planet will tip past 1.5 ˚C of warming, “likely within the next few years,” squashing any lingering hope that nations would cut emissions fast enough to achieve the loftiest goal of the Paris climate agreement. 本月初，联合国宣布地球升温幅度将“在未来几年内”突破1.5摄氏度，这粉碎了各国能够以足够快的速度削减排放以实现《巴黎协定》最高目标的最后希望。

In the US, the world’s second-largest-emitting country, its leader continues to deny climate realities and unravel climate policies. Big Tech is backpedaling on its climate ambitions, as companies race to build massive AI data centers. And all this comes amid yet another season of shattered heat records, raging wildfires, and deadly floods. 作为全球第二大排放国，美国的领导人持续否认气候现实并废除气候政策。与此同时，大型科技公司在竞相建设大规模人工智能数据中心的过程中，也在其气候雄心上开倒车。这一切都发生在一个又一个高温纪录被打破、野火肆虐、洪水频发的季节里。

It can be tempting to give in to climate doom and defeatism. But despite the headwinds, the world has still made incredible progress. Companies are developing and deploying renewables, batteries, and EVs; inventing cleaner means of producing industrial goods; and devising ways to keep cities and people safe even in the face of more extreme weather conditions. 人们很容易陷入气候末日论和失败主义的情绪中。但尽管面临重重阻力，世界依然取得了令人难以置信的进步。企业正在开发和部署可再生能源、电池和电动汽车；发明更清洁的工业产品生产方式；并设计出即使在极端天气条件下也能保障城市和民众安全的方法。

Those advances will only accelerate as costs decline and people demand greater climate action, as well as all the economic and health benefits that come with it. Recognizing our ability to make such progress is why MIT Technology Review began publishing our annual list of Climate Tech Companies to Watch three years ago. 随着成本下降以及人们对气候行动及其带来的经济和健康效益的需求日益增长，这些进步只会加速。正是为了肯定我们取得此类进展的能力，《麻省理工科技评论》于三年前开始发布年度“值得关注的气候科技公司”榜单。

Once a year the editors and writers use their deep industry knowledge and academic sources to compile a long list of companies around the world that are transforming the way we generate energy, produce goods, move people and things, or mitigate rising climate dangers. 每年，我们的编辑和撰稿人都会利用深厚的行业知识和学术资源，汇编一份全球公司长名单，这些公司正在改变我们生产能源、制造商品、运输人员和物资的方式，或致力于减轻日益严重的气候威胁。

We then conduct several rounds of spirited newsroom debate to winnow that list down to 10 that we believe have done the most, or have the best chance, to make a real dent in emissions or improve public safety and health. 随后，我们会在编辑部进行多轮激烈的讨论，将名单筛选至10家公司。我们认为这些公司在减少排放或改善公共安全与健康方面做出了最大贡献，或最有潜力产生实质性影响。

We’re happy to say we’ve finalized that list for 2026, and will publish it on October 6. You can sign up for The Download newsletter to be among the first to see it, or subscribe to receive full access to this year’s list. 我们很高兴地宣布，2026年的榜单已经敲定，并将于10月6日发布。您可以注册“The Download”时事通讯，第一时间获取榜单，或订阅以获得今年榜单的完整访问权限。

It features a mix of companies making strides in energy storage, nuclear power, transportation, and other areas, including ones that have figured out how to continue to make progress amid the regressive climate politics of the moment. 榜单涵盖了在储能、核能、交通运输及其他领域取得进展的公司，其中包括那些在当前气候政治倒退的环境下，依然能够找到持续进步之道的企业。

We hope you’ll enjoy the package and perhaps come away feeling a bit more hopeful that we can move fast enough to avoid the gravest dangers of climate change, and build a safer, healthier, and more sustainable world. 我们希望您能喜欢这份专题报道，并从中感受到更多希望，相信我们能够以足够快的速度行动起来，避免气候变化带来的最严重威胁，共同构建一个更安全、更健康、更可持续的世界。
