New Look, Same Roots. 🌱 Our roots remain the same, grounded in the reality of the action that needs to happen. All our ventures work towards addressing climate mitigation while driving adaptation at scale. With 130+ projects on deck powered by 100+ social partner organisations, we’re active in 15 countries and counting. Having planted 75 million trees, managed over 5 million hectares of farmlands, and engaged more than 7 million families, our impact continues to grow. For over 15 years, we’ve been making markets work for a just transition. And we’re just getting started. #valuenetworkventures #investedbynature #rootedin #makingmarketswork

Congratulations to Rabeel Warraich on setting up Pakistan's first climate focused fund, with GCF's support. Despite contributing less than 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, Pakistan is disproportionately impacted by climate change, primarily driven by developed countries. Extreme weather events like floods, heatwaves, and droughts have become increasingly frequent and severe. The 2022 floods, for instance, affected over 33 million people and caused billions of dollars in damages. It's imperative that we recognize Pakistan's vulnerability and help build resilience and adapt to the changing climate. Hopefully this fund will encourage startups to bring forth their innovative solutions and scale their impact. #ClimateChange #ClimateJustice #Pakistan

Climate focused investors, including VC’s, invested in companies before the IRA and will continue doing so. There is enough demand for clean, green, sustainable energy to support these businesses. That wasn’t the case even 10 years ago. Companies and investors look for solutions to problems and those that have a viable solution that fits a need can succeed. Avisen Legal has been helping companies, founders, VC’s and others succeed and thrive even in challenging environments. Contact Jeremy Kalin, Kimberly Lowe, Ingrid Bjorklund, Alex Frescoln or Todd Taylor if you are a founder or VC looking to do venture deals (Series A, Series Seed, etc…) in the #energy #cleantech #climate space. We do good things, together.

I am proud of the work our firm does and grateful for every one of our team who make it possible. Read about some of the work and team in our most recent newsletter. #impact #sustainableinvesting #planet #investing #earth #society #climatelens #lowcarbon

"Climate as an investment theme has proved relatively compelling to private market investors"... "the rate of increase in climate investments since 2014 has far outpaced the broader market"... "what is needed is more mid-market climate funds". The Reed Smith Funds Group are on it! #fundformation #esg #reedsmith #climatesolutions #privateequity

Announcing the Drawdown Capital Coalition! The latest initiative from Project Drawdown aims to empower a broad community of funders with the latest climate science, identify critical solutions for reducing emissions, and ultimately inspire more and better investments. “Science shows us where we should focus our efforts and resources to stop the climate crisis,” says Project Drawdown Executive Director Jonathan Foley. Private capital has a critical role to play in funding climate solutions. While funders spend billions of dollars annually to stop climate change, that capital is often misaligned with the most effective, science-backed climate solutions. The new initiative for #philanthropists, #impactinvestors, and their advisors will leverage Project Drawdown’s scientific expertise to guide capital to the most promising solutions. A big thank you to our founding partners, including Bentley Motors, Toniic, Wana Brands Foundation, Spectrum Impact, Consilium Capital Limited, Excelsior Impact Fund, Seabright Ventures Fund, Studio Kākāpo, The Joseph and Vera Long Foundation, Anne and Don Bice Climate Fund, Anne Hale and Arthur W. Johnson Fund, Caldwell Fisher Family Foundation, Deer Dancer Impact Fund, Gratitude Fund LLC, and the Xancharlize Fund.
