Institutional investors, sovereign-wealth funds, and other large investors are dramatically reallocating capital in response to climate risk and opportunity and their own net-zero commitments. Investments in green business are projected to grow to $3.4 trillion by the end of the decade. Despite these capital shifts, an estimated $100 trillion–$150 trillion investment is needed over the next three decades to transition to a low-carbon economy, according to the Global Financial Markets Association (GFMA) and Boston Consulting Group (BCG). How can we better measure and direct these investments to create true climate (and financial) impact? And what is the role for innovative finance mechanisms like blended finance, emissions trading systems, carbon credits, green bonds, and other mechanics in catalyzing the climate impact that investment dollars can have?
