⏳Startups and investors exploring innovative technologies for sustainable agriculture must be mindful of the time required for growers to adopt and scale new practices. 🌱 This insight was highlighted last week when our Co-Chief Investment Officer Eduardo Mufarej delved into growth and expansion in the dynamic agtech funding landscape at the 2024 World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit. Thank you to Adam Anders for moderating the discussion, and to fellow panellists Rob Appleby, Christina Ulardic, Rogier Pieterse and Anne-Valérie Bach for their valuable contributions.

Climate pledges are all too similar to New Year's resolutions, says our Chairman Al Gore, in an interview with TechCrunch together with Generation's Lila Preston. Easy to make, but hard to follow through on 🙌 They discuss how despite the significant strides made – including the Inflation Reduction Act and China’s vast solar investment – we’re still moving too slowly. Explore the conversation as they dissect the findings of our Sustainability Trends Report 2024, which is out now ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/dpJXmm8d

Thank you to Impact Investing Institute for including Clara Barby's comments in this year's report on the size of UK impact investing market 📈 Click here to find out more: https://lnkd.in/emakwfJK
Today we are releasing our second report on the size of UK impact investing market, revealing substantial growth and increasing sophistication in commercial investments that target positive social and environmental outcomes, including investments in healthcare, renewable energy, affordable housing and much more. Key highlights from our research: ✅ The UK impact investing market has grown to £76.8 billion in assets under management (AUM) as of end-2023. ✅ This growth marks a £19.3 billion increase from the Institute's inaugural report and represents a 10.1% compound annual growth rate from the beginning of 2021 until the end of 2023. ✅ Impact investing growth has significantly outpaced the broader UK asset management sector, which had an annual growth rate between -2% and 0% over the same period. ✅ The UK impact investing market accounts for ca. 8% of the global impact investing market. The report, produced through an extensive market survey and engagement with over 100 key market actors, thought leaders, and policymakers, highlights that this growth occurred despite challenging market conditions. This resilience indicates the increasing importance and maturity of impact investing in the UK financial landscape. The report also notes significant trends in the market: ✅ Private equity attracts the highest proportion of impact capital at 45%, followed by real assets at 28% and private debt at 11%. ✅ There is increasing demand for impact investing among institutional investors, with the UK's Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) making more local impact allocations. ✅ Two-thirds of respondents plan to increase or sustain their allocation of capital towards impactful companies, projects, and assets in the UK in the next five years. We call on asset owners, asset managers, investment advisors, and the UK government to seize the opportunities presented by this growing market and emphasises the crucial role of collaboration between private capital and government in mobilising resources at scale to address pressing social, environmental, and economic challenges and transforms lives across the UK and beyond.

🌍 How big is the decarbonisation opportunity? Let’s dive in! This week at IPEM, Clara Barby delivered insights to investors navigating the fast-growing sustainable investment market. 💡 The key message? While many asset owners focus on climate-related risk, opportunity, and stewardship, they should also aim to drive systems-level change in financial markets. One way to do this? By identifying the untapped potential between asset classes. ✨ And the result? “Disruptive solutions that blur traditional asset boundaries present unique opportunities to develop first-of-a-kind projects in critical industries like steel and battery materials,” Clara said. Thank you to Dr. Bev Adams for moderating this discussion, and to Anne-Laurence Roucher, Pierre Abadie, and Tom Rotherham-Winqvist for their valuable contributions!
