My game plan, for climate action
|
Amid all the noise, climate change persists Politics will sway like a pendulum, businesses rise and fall, but looking long-term the trajectory is clear, we're pushing our environmental systems ever-closer to collapse. Shifting your focus from the short-term to the long-term is never easy, but this is how investors position themselves ahead of the rest. To recognise the huge challenges on the horizon, and deploy capital to support those delivering solutions. Impact investing is a lens you can apply no matter your politics, or your asset class approach. I’ve been working in the field for more than a decade, and I’m still optimistic that businesses focussed on breakthrough innovation in decarbonisation, climate-tech and natural capital can deliver the solutions we need to transition our economy, and avoid the worst impacts of climate change. But, all of this depends on these investors being able to accurately measure the current and future positive impacts of the companies they are looking to invest in. And in 2025 we are set to see even deeper integration of impact measurement by a broader range of investors and businesses. So, for 2025, I have refined my offering to help even more investors and businesses deliver climate solutions. My focus this year is: Supporting climate investors:
Updated models:
Impact on-the-ground:
Practical Content:
Protecting the future:
If any of this is on your to-do list for 2025, then let’s chat. I work with impact investors to quantify their impact, so they can improve investment decision-making and grow inflows.

Impact investing is not an asset class, rather, it's an approach that can be applied to a diverse range of asset classes, and while this I’ve spoken about this concept at length in this newsletter, today I want to focus on fixed income. Fixed income is the world’s largest asset class. It has a set of unique characteristics that make it ideal for driving impact outcomes, but so far it hasn’t been utilised at anywhere near its full potential. Popular perception lags its intrinsic value There’s...
Australia has launched its very own Sustainable Finance Taxonomy, a long-awaited framework to classify what counts as ‘sustainable’. It follows global moves led by the EU, and aims to categorise a range of economic activities, highlighting ‘green’ leaders, as well as sectors making the ‘transition’. To help you understand what it’s all about I found the perfect guest to join me on the Good Future podcast, and that’s Linda Romanovska! In the episode she helps us understand why it’s important...
In 2019 Hampus Jakobsson was convinced climate investing was the obvious next step for venture capital investors, but to his surprise, the other partners at his fund (despite being smart and progressive) just didn’t get it. So strong was his conviction that he left the firm to start his own fund, Pale Blue Dot. Fundraising was no easy task, with many potential investors having similar reservations. Some were scarred from the clean-tech bubble, and others couldn’t see past the eye-watering...
