Allied Climate Partners

We’re thrilled to announce that we officially launched Allied Talent Partners (ATP), yesterday at the inaugural Mission 300 Africa Energy Summit in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Africa faces monumental climate and energy challenges. With 300 million people still lacking access to electricity, the need for specialized talent to drive innovative and impactful solutions has never been more urgent. ATP is dedicated to supporting leading stakeholders, including the The World Bank Bank, the Trade and Development Bank Group - TDB Group (TDB), the The Rockefeller Foundation, The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP), and others, in achieving the ambitious goals of Mission 300 and advancing broader energy access and climate-focused initiatives. By aligning with these critical partners, ATP ensures the right expertise is deployed to accelerate solutions and build local capacity across the region. We’re proud to partner with transformative organizations to deliver tangible impact. Alongside the The African Climate Foundation, we’ve formalized MOUs with Gridworks and Meridiam, who have already leveraged our talent platform to source high-caliber experts for their critical projects. These partnerships reflect our shared commitment to nurturing local expertise and scaling game-changing climate and energy initiatives across Africa. Our mission is clear: to empower Africa’s transition to sustainable energy while fostering local expertise, strengthening capacity, and supporting economic growth by tapping into the growing pool of independent, highly skilled professionals.

Mark Gallogly, Allied Climate Partners Chair, highlighted India's pivotal role in global climate action and economic growth through sustainability in a recent interview at #ClimateTechConveningIndia2025. Gallogly sees India's opportunity as transformative: maintaining high growth while pioneering a low-carbon development path. "No country in the world is more important on this issue than India," he notes, emphasizing that sustainability represents "the world's greatest challenge and its greatest economic opportunity." By creating economic value while reducing carbon emissions, India can serve as a global model for #sustainabledevelopment.

Rounded off the year with a visit to some of ACP's partners in India, together with Clarisa De Franco, Dory Li, Ashley Gorman. ? We touched down in Delhi amidst the most severe air pollution of the year, with AQI of 500+. You could barely see more than 100m ahead from the smog. Our team witnessed firsthand the importance of sustainable development that addresses both climate and local development needs – something Indian investment managers, the climate finance ecosystem, and the government are committed to. ? India is perhaps THE most consequential country for climate because of the massive scale of its current and future emissions. The IEA estimates that by 2050, electricity demand from ACs alone in India is projected to exceed the total power consumption in the entire African continent! India also holds many of the answers to the energy transition with new and affordable technologies and innovative business models that can be transferred to other emerging economies. Electric 2- and 3-wheelers have taken off at unprecedented scale. Solar and wind are being deployed rapidly, with the entire ecosystem seeking to meet the government’s ambitious goal of?500GW of renewable capacity?by 2030. ? Creative solutions, strong partnerships, and a strong anchor in impact are needed to drive the energy transition. At Allied Climate Partners, we're looking forward to working with local partners to drive that transition as fast as humanly possible.

As we approach the end of a year filled with significant political and economic challenges, the importance of investment in supporting sustainable development has never been clearer. ? ACP’s CEO, Ahmed Saeed, will be addressing these critical issues at the upcoming event, "Emerging Markets: Investing in development at a time of political change" hosted by the Financial Times. ? This discussion will delve into the complex landscape that investors face today — where political stability, governance, and economic resilience play vital roles in shaping investment strategies. #FTGlobalBoardroom #SustainableDevelopment Georgia Levenson Keohane Yemi Lalude Nick Rohatyn Patrick Temple-West

I caught up with Ed Crooks and Racquel Moses at COP29 Azerbaijan in Baku on the role of early-stage catalytic equity in #climatefinance, the gap of available equity in EMDEs and the value of the COP process as it evolves. Listen to our conversation on The Energy Gang here: https://lnkd.in/ev-cU9-R

To drive change, we all need partners. Our collaboration with Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) is one that we really value. Together at #COP29, we engaged in meaningful discussions on climate finance and the transition to clean energy in developing countries.? ? Thank you, SEforALL, for your unwavering support and for creating a distinctive platform for collaboration and dialogue.??

It’s always so much fun to be with team Allied Climate Partners and Three Cairns Group. Thank you to all our partners for an excellent and exciting #COP29.?? ?

Last week at COP29, Allied Climate Partners, Climate Policy Initiative, Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), and Three Cairns Group co-hosted a roundtable focused on The World Bank Private Sector Investment Lab’s (PSIL) key objective to elevate the role of equity and junior capital in climate finance. We’re focused on building more robust analytics on where equity dollars are currently flowing, and where they need to flow, leading to a better prioritization of these resources — including the key role of catalytic equity and blended finance.? ? A big thank you to our co-hosts, partners, and participants that helped make this event a success.??

Pentagreen Capital is delighted to announce progress on the Green Investments partnership, an innovative blended finance programme under Financing Asia's Transition Partnership (FAST-P) set up to address climate finance gaps and increase the bankability of green and sustainable infrastructure in Asia. The Green Investments partnership seeks to deploy US$1 billion under the FAST-P through the deployment of blended finance, crowding in commercial and catalytic capital from public, private and philanthropic partners. We look forward to collaborating with all of our partners to unite our efforts to bridge the climate finance gaps in developing Asia.
