It’s Time #NYCW has come to an end and I am reflecting on a week full of intense talks, insights, round tables and get togethers before I embark on my journey home. This year’s headline It’s Time sums it up - It’s Time! Not just to listen but also to act. The Investment Mobilisation Collaboration Alliance (IMCA), a unique public-private partnership between the US and the Nordic countries launched at COP28 last year, is very much about action: through blended finance vehicles that mitigate the risk for private investors, IMCA aims to scale up and accelerate private investments in emerging markets that are in dire need of capital for climate projects. In order to get a better understanding of the view of US asset owners, I met with two mayor US pension funds that made it clear to me that blended finance in itself is not always enough to de-risk investments and attract private capital - but it’s a first step and there was definitely interest to learn more. Looking forward to continuing the conversation at COP29 in Baku. On a personal note I was happy to note how high biodiversity has moved on the agenda - here Brazils first Minister of State for Indigenous Peoples Ms Sonia Guajajara who emphasised the interlink between climate and biodiversity at the #WorldBiodiversitySummit.

In 2023, Pelorus Foundation's Climate Investment Fund made significant strides in the battle against climate change. Through strategic investments into innovative solutions, we are successfully advancing our mission to reduce carbon emissions and restore environmental balance. The Climate Investment Fund has received widespread interest within the travel industry for its innovative outlook on an old-time problem, and for shaking up the uninspiring carbon offsetting tick-box approach commonly prevalent in travel. Read more about the Climate Investment Fund in our 2023 Impact Report.

After so much work and a huge amount of support from our members and network partners, the second iteration of the Net Zero Investment Framework is now live for consultation. NZIF 2.0 seeks to build on the learnings of investors, earned across three years of implementation, as well as address some of the issues discovered along the way. ? This includes a repositioning of the portfolio decarbonisation reference target after our research identified that the use of the 'financed emissions' metric alone, and over a short-term horizon, can have unintended consequences. The portfolio coverage target has also been renamed the "asset alignment target" to better reflect its recommendations and usage, along with new guidance on measurement to help investors who focus on high-impact sectors. ? Throughout, we have included more than 40 recommended action points for investors to adopt at their discretion, based on industry best practices and prominent research and reports. A new figure, the NZIF wheel pictured below, also seeks to highlight the interconnected nature of each core area of the framework and their equal importance. ? Special credit to Adrian Fenton, PhD, Mahesh Roy and the wider team at IIGCC who helped to create this fantastic resource, as well as to our valued partners in the Paris Aligned Investment Initiative, Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC), Ceres, Inc., and Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC). ? NZIF 2.0 aims to make life easier for investors as they create and implement a net zero transition plan, bringing so many good ideas together in one place. We now ask our members, fellow investors and peers in the industry to read the consultation document and to share your comments before 24 April using the links below. Thank you. ? https://lnkd.in/eRvax7Mi ? #NetZero #NZIF #ClimateChange #Investing

Unlocking private finance to enable net zero. Working closely with local authorities to create investable projects is a big step forward. I love the term, the impact of investment may be small but it can be catalytic, we should be looking for our catalytic actions in our daily lives, personally and in work. Keep fairness in mind at all times alongside community buy-in. As Helena Rivers says take a place-based approach to solving challenges, not one size fits all, do this with a long term vision. 3Ci (Cities Commission for Climate Investment)

Today's?reality is clear: the impacts of climate change are intensifying, and our response must match that urgency with bold, transformative action. The Vertical Climate and Environmental Funds—the GCF, CIFF, GEF,?and AF—hold significant potential to drive the systemic changes we need, using concessional finance most effectively to unlock other pools of capital. I recently had the privilege of collaborating with an esteemed group of experts as part of the Independent High-Level Expert Group, appointed by the Brazilian G20 Presidency. Together, we examined these funds in detail, and today, I’m thrilled to share the results of our work! I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my fellow IHLEG members for their dedication and insights: Josué Tanaka (chair), Amar Bhattacharya, Amit Garg, Michael Hayes, Naoko Ishii, Sherry Rehman, Mattia Romani, Rogerio Studart, Stacy Swann, Laurence Tubiana, and Min Zhu. I also appreciate the collaboration of Baastel and Globalfields Ltd. for their invaluable support throughout this process. Let’s harness this momentum and work towards a sustainable future! https://lnkd.in/d2VzPfq5 #climatefinance #sustainablefinance
