Perspectives

Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time.

For almost two decades we have worked with governments and clients to drive the energy transition and advance practical solutions to climate challenges. We have built market leading capabilities in investing directly into climate mitigation and adaptation infrastructure and in supporting our clients and portfolio companies to decarbonise their activities.

We are committed to playing a leading role in achieving global net zero emissions by 2050.
