A climate investment platform for large-scale investors leading the transition to net zero carbon emissions by 2050
About us
Capital for Climate (C4C) is accelerating capital deployment to climate solutions required to achieve a 1.5°C degree outcome. It provides an integrated offering, including a climate solution intelligence platform, hosted investor communities, and education and strategic advisory services. At COP26, in collaboration with the U.N.’s High-Level Climate Champions, C4C launched a free, public-purpose pilot version of their platform focused on Nature-based Solutions. Early funders include the Finance Hub of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Quadrature Climate Foundation, Wells Fargo Foundation, and Climateworks Foundation. We are on course to a 4℃ world. There is no Marshall Plan for climate on the horizon. Achieving a 1.5℃ outcome depends on the strategic mobilization of the available trillions in private capital to profitable climate solutions. However, what the available capital is lacking is a compass and guide to the highest leverage climate solution investments. Which is exactly why a group of industry experts, with decades of experience in impact investing and strategic management, started Capital for Climate.

Scaling finance for nature is one of the major challenges of the next phase of the fight against climate change, and a major focus of Capital for Climate's work. You can read more about it in this insightful op-ed form the UN Climate Champions team, and in our recent report on capital facilitation in Brazil, developed in partnership with High-Level Climate Champions, Brunswick Group, and IFACC Initiative. Download the report here: https://lnkd.in/eebeFxpr
UN Climate Change High-Level Champion for COP28. IUCN President. Global leader and advocate for climate and nature.
Nature has never been higher on the agenda at #ClimateWeekNYC, and not a moment too soon. Today, I co-authored an op-ed in Thomson Reuters alongside Mahmoud Mohieldin, underlining that a secure future is possible only by aligning finance and investment now to protect, restore and sustainably manage nature. I was also honored to appear alongside Mary Schapiro and others at the fantastic Opening Plenary of the Nature Positive Hub. One theme was clear: climate strategies that don’t include nature are incomplete. The event marked the launch of an important new report the High-Level Climate Champions have developed with Capital for Climate and the IFACC Initiative. It highlights that investing in nature is possible today – with a growing pipeline of investable #NatureBasedSolutions (NbS) in critical markets such as Brazil.
