The recent “Connecting Capital with Climate Solutions” event was a stunning success. Over 100 attendees heard about the breadth and depth of climate-friendly investable propositions in Aotearoa. These span from: (a) early stage companies working on innovative ways to reduce emissions (the sort Climate VC Fund invests in), to (b) Infrastructure like wind, solar and batteries; to (c) Nature-based solutions including forestry and blue carbon projects. Funding climate-friendly projects, companies and infrastructure can not only help reduce emissions, it can make fantastic commercial returns for you too. If you’d like to hear how we are doing this at Climate VC Fund, please get in touch. Climate VC Fund was delighted to help bring this event together, and we’d like to give a big shout-out to the organising group and supporters for their hard work: Impact Investing Network BayTrust KPMG New Zealand Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) Centre for Sustainable Finance: Toitū Tahua Philanthropy New Zealand Principles for Responsible Investment. And especially to Justine Sefton Terri Eggleton Tan Huynh and Raphael Rauner. Along with the RIAA conference which followed, we’re seeing sustained engagement from the investment community in how to address the challenges and opportunities of climate change. Together, we can make this happen. #ImpactInvesting #SustainableFuture #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Climate
🌍 Connecting Capital with Climate Solutions: A Memorable Milestone 🌱 Wednesday marked the culmination of months of hard work: countless emails between Impact Investing Network, BayTrust, and Climate VC Fund, over a dozen strategy meetings, and the curation of an incredible speaker line-up. Our event brought together expert perspectives, diverse stakeholders, and sparked critical discussions on climate innovation and solutions. The afternoon was filled with insightful panel discussions, thought-provoking questions, and of course, meaningful networking opportunities over drinks. Stay tuned for the post-event report—we can’t wait to share it with you. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event such a success, and to all who joined us on the day. Your engagement made it truly memorable!
