Financing Climate & Sustainable Development
A resource for venture capital investors seeking to optimize their climate impact through meticulous impact screening, measurement, and reporting
According to the International Energy Agency’s Net-Zero Scenario, about one-third of the emissions reductions needed by 2050 depend on technologies that are currently in development. Additionally, climate adaptation finance faces an even larger investment gap.

(2) Paris-aligned thresholds for prioritization
(3) Indirect impact and tailored KPIs
(4) Adaptation investment thesis and scorecard.
