2024 marked the hottest year on record, with temperatures exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. While reducing emissions remains critical, it's clear that carbon removal must scale rapidly to tackle the dangerous levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. By 2050, we need to remove 7-9 billion tonnes of CO₂ annually, according to Oxford Smith School's State of CDR Report. Our latest blog looks at how we can unlock the carbon removal market in 2025. Highlights include: 🌿Nature is a powerful ally in carbon removal, delivering co-benefits like improved soil health and flood resilience. 🔑 Engineered solutions are crucial for long-term carbon storage, requiring robust infrastructure and innovation. 📈 The Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) is evolving, emphasising quality, transparency, and trust. Demand is shifting towards high-quality nature-based and engineered removals, supported by offtake agreements and advanced market commitments like Frontier Climate’s $1 billion pledge. 🏛️State-level support is growing, with countries like the U.S., EU, and Japan leading the way in policy and funding innovation, such as Contracts for Difference for carbon removal. The challenge for 2025: Mobilising private capital and corporate commitments to ensure early-stage carbon removal projects can scale, while maintaining transparency and impact integrity. So, will 2025 be the year of mobilising capital to innovative carbon removal technologies? 👉 Read our full blog https://lnkd.in/eDKpTrd6 💡Join us at the Economist Impact events Carbon Capture Summit, where influential decision-makers will gather to explore the latest trends in carbon capture technologies. The event in Amsterdam on February 6th 2025 will focus discussions on accelerating business transformation and driving CCUS projects.

This week at the #WorldEconomicForum in #Davos, unsurprisingly the inauguration of President Trump was a focal point of discussion, but what rang through the noise was the sense of optimism as many delegates highlighted the progress made in #GreenFinance over the past decade. In the face of this political uncertainty, Rhian-Mari Thomas OBE says: “The green revolution is unstoppable. This is about creating value, smart risk-adjusted returns and – on a more macro level – economies focusing on technologies of the future. "There is a real sense of optimism [at Davos], with recognition that there are headwinds and this isn’t going to be a straightforward few years, but we know what we’re doing makes sense financially and economically.”
The Green Finance Institute is leading a global project with partners United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and BIOFIN - Biodiversity Finance Initiative: Revenues for Nature (R4N) aimed at mobilising private sector investment into nature restoration and nature based solutions. We published a series of guidebooks aimed at mobilising private sector finance for nature: https://lnkd.in/enm-WfSt * Habitat Banking, Colombia * Biodiversity Net Gain, England * Water Quality and Availability Models * US Wetland Mitigation and Endangered Species Habitat Banking with Environmental Policy Innovation Center As we publish more guidebooks and embark on supporting the replication and scale of investment models in five countries this year, we are proud to be showcasing this work at the #WorldEconomicForum at #Davos this week. UNEPFI and BIOFIN will be hosting a dialogue on investment opportunities for replicating and scaling these mechanisms this afternoon.

Moving from the era of commitment to action is imperative as the world continues to feel the effects of our changing climate. Green finance is much more than a cyclical trend. It is the route to energy security and economic growth. Our CEO, Rhian-Mari Thomas OBE, is at the #WorldEconomicForum in #Davos to develop global mobilisation strategies to address barriers to implementation at a time of seismic political shifts.

"Green finance cannot be viewed as a cyclical trend," writes Dr Rhian-Mari Thomas OBE chief executive of the Green Finance Institute and chair of the National Wealth Fund Taskforce in an op ed for Sustainable Views. "Leading financial institutions have quit the world’s largest climate coalition and boardrooms are increasingly turning their attention to the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence, as though the need to redirect capital to achieve climate goals is last year’s fad," she says. "We are entering a new era of global politics and technological advancement with all its resulting unpredictability, but there are still prevailing certainties. The climate challenge remains existential, and the need for capital is significant." Read more below. #greenfinance #climatefinance #climatechange https://lnkd.in/eXjHVgkk

Scaling #innovation for #grids and #networks is key to achieving Clean Power 2030 in the UK. With the rise of renewable generation and the electrification of key sectors like heat and transport, it’s imperative we modernise our networks fast. But innovation can’t scale without finance. More interventions are needed to reduce the barriers to deploying finance into innovative start-ups in the UK. Our greenprint, “What next for financing network innovation?,” written in collaboration with Regen with support from Breakthrough Energy , outlines key solutions – from regulation and policy to innovative blended finance models – to help reduce these barriers to foster scale and pace for network innovation.

The independent Land, Nature and Adapted Systems (LNAS) Advisory Group, has today published its second and final report, “Framework to develop a UK Green Taxonomy for adaptation and resilience.” To date, no country has yet developed a comprehensive #Adaptation taxonomy. In this report, LNAS proposes a five-step approach for the UK government to fill this gap to support the mobilisation of finance into resilience and adaptation-focused investment, starting with the built environment No region is immune to the mounting pressure of climate change and adaptation is essential in a warming world. This second phase of work focuses on #ClimateChange adaptation and sets out how the UK government could develop an adaptation-focused taxonomy, focusing both on the role of infrastructure and nature-based solutions in delivering adapted and resilient systems in the UK. The first phase of this work, outlined groundbreaking recommendations on how disclosures in relation to sustainable agriculture, fisheries, and aquaculture could be structured and disclosure to investors through their inclusion in a UK Green Taxonomy. Read the first phase of this work here: https://lnkd.in/ezvPQUKY The Green Technical Advisory Group (GTAG), from which the LNAS Advisory Group was spun off, has previously argued that the inclusion of these new sectors, alongside a focus on advocating internationally for interoperable taxonomies, could position the UK government to lead the way on how sustainable finance can support these sectors – internationally.
