We are elated to release our new report, The Climate Finance Relay Race. This report examines how asset owners are approaching climate investing, the reasoning behind their strategies, and potential pathways to increase capital flows. We believe investment in what we term the “climate megatrend” offers an unprecedented opportunity to drive resource productivity, reduce volatility, and generate sustainable economic growth in a world of climate adaptation. However, climate investing is relatively new, siloed, and underrepresented. Further, there is an estimated $30 trillion in opportunity to invest in climate transition through 2030, with only about 20% of that opportunity being met. To better understand how to close this funding gap, we conducted interviews and a survey of 50+ asset owners managing trillions in capital to gather context and feedback on opportunities and frictions to climate-related underwriting. We find that the development of the enabling ecosystem is critical to navigating market and asset-owner-specific frictions to climate investment. In addition, we offer six suggestions for how the enabling ecosystem can best engage with asset owners to complete the climate “relay race” from catalytic, high-risk capital to institutional, lower-cost-of-capital projects.

"This is about being catalytic. This is putting in place what is critical for others to come along behind what we do and build on top of that."Brad Powell, Co-Founder of Amperage Infrastructure, calls attention to a lack of sufficient broadband internet access in large sections of the United States, and Amperage's mission to address this issue. He also discusses how Amperage works with local communities, service providers, manufacturers, and governments to catalyze more investment and construction of broadband infrastructure nationwide.
