Climate financing is going to the wrong places! Really insightful snapshot into the relationship between emissions and Climate tech VC by Daria Saharova (partner at World Fund) She states that: “85% of emissions receive only 52% of funding” And interestingly: - personal behavior change will reduce only 4.3% of emissions - technologies already in the market will account for 49.8% - technologies under development and in need of investment will need to fill in the rest. “46% of emissions will be reduced by technology that’s yet to be developed, and this is the tech we desperately need. Thanks for this Daria Saharova, really insightful.

🌱 Why Investors Care About Climate Tech's Green Premium Talking about money and climate tech can be tough, but it's crucial 🌍. This article from MIT Technology Review highlights: 📌 The Green Premium: The cost difference between eco-friendly products and their polluting counterparts. 📌 Investment Strategies: Investors look for climate tech that can compete economically. 📌 Economic Viability: Technologies like solar power and batteries show how costs can be reduced over time. 📌 Future Outlook: Supporting new climate tech now could lead to significant environmental and economic benefits. 📌 Challenges: Competing with established industries and closing the green premium gap is essential. Investing in climate tech isn't just good for the planet, it's a smart financial move too! 🌿💡 #ClimateTech #GreenInvestment #SustainableFuture #Innovation https://bit.ly/4foSTfn

Check out the three central takeaways that emerged from our spring Climate Business & Investment Conference, which gathered established industry leaders, startups, investors, and researchers to discuss the #climatetech market's progress and needed adjustments: https://lnkd.in/gZf8AFUD --- Hosted by Columbia Business School's Tamer Institute for Social Enterprise and Climate Change at Columbia University, Columbia Technology Ventures, and Columbia Climate School, the conference surveyed the landscape of emerging climate technologies and helped inform policy and investment decisions to guide the world toward a high-efficiency, low-carbon future.

Amid a substantial contraction in the innovation economy, climate tech has shown notable resilience despite an overall drop in VC funding. While deal activity has stayed robust compared to other sectors, invested capital has decreased by over 50%, primarily due to a decline in deals exceeding $100 million. #climatetech #climateVC #climate

Daria Saharova of World Fund discussing insufficient funding to deal with the climate challenge and the misalignment of allocations in WIRED. Read on: To achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030, we have to increase the amount of capital invested in climate tech by 590%. While European funds, including the UK’s, have €19.6 trillion ($21.1 trillion) under management—and invested €19.6 billion in 2022—that’s not enough. We need to invest at least €1 trillion every year. “Forty-six percent of emissions will be reduced by technology that’s yet to be developed, and this is the tech we desperately need” - this we see as the importance of financing climate deep tech solutions! https://lnkd.in/dseMyk4E

There has never been a better time to start a business focussed on tackling the climate crisis. 📈 Investment in startups, looking to positively impact the climate change space, has never been higher and is continuing to grow. “In the years since 2015, when the Paris Agreement was signed, Climate Tech investment has increased nearly ten times, from $6.6 billion invested in climate tech companies to over $60 billion in 2022. Between 2021 and 2022 alone, there was an 89% increase in global climate tech funding.” https://lnkd.in/e3Wpg8ny 👊 If 2024 is your year, take a look at ZINC’s climate investment areas to see how we are looking to support founders tackling the climate crisis.  https://lnkd.in/ep-iJ5UU If your mission aligns with ours, we’d love to hear from you! https://lnkd.in/d9gPe75t

Climate tech companies face unique hurdles like high costs and long times to profit. Overcoming these involves derisking, creative financing, and speeding up scale-ups. Regulatory support and public-private partnerships are key.
