"With some of the hype gone out of the market, more mediocre propositions are no longer attracting the interest they did previously," says Yair Reem in an interview with PwC for their latest State of Climate Tech report. "Truly exceptional companies, with clear and compelling value propositions that extend beyond simply being green, are still securing funding, but there is a lack of money generally." The report, "Seeking an Edge as Deal-Making Slows," offers important insights on the state of climate tech investment: 👉 Market Contraction: Capital flows and transaction volumes continue to decline, falling below pre-2019 levels. 👉 AI-Related Climate Tech: This segment is seeing notable growth, with its market share almost doubling to 14.6%. 👉 Focus on Climate Adaptation: 28% of climate tech deals now focus on adaptation and resilience. 👉 Corporate Venture Capital: These funds are playing a growing role in mid- and late-stage investments.

Climate Investing: A Growth Opportunity in Uncertain Times Despite global economic uncertainties, climate investing continues to experience breakout growth. 📈 The climate tech market alone has seen a surge, driven by a mix of regulatory pressures, consumer demand, and technological advancements. With over $1.2 trillion invested globally in climate-related initiatives in 2023, this trend is expected to continue as businesses increasingly prioritize sustainability. Key Factors Driving Climate Investment: Policy Incentives: Governments are implementing stricter regulations, carbon pricing, and tax incentives, pushing companies to adapt and innovate. Technological Advancements: Breakthroughs in renewable energy, carbon capture, and storage, alongside advancements in electric vehicles and smart grids, have fueled investor confidence. ESG Integration: More investors are prioritizing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics, recognizing that companies focused on sustainability are better positioned for long-term growth. However, while opportunities are abundant, challenges remain. Scaling technologies to reach net-zero goals and overcoming supply chain disruptions will be key to sustaining growth in the climate space. Investors and businesses must remain agile, strategically navigating these headwinds. The question isn’t whether climate investing will grow, but how fast companies can adapt to the evolving landscape and seize this momentum. 🌱 🔍 What’s your take on the future of climate investing?

❓ Along with Maex and Philip, I've spent a bunch of time in recent months thinking about how our thesis at Earth aligns with a very uncertain world heading into 2025. 🥵 +1.5 degrees above pre-industrial averages, increasingly warlike, with inconsistent regulation, high profile start-up failures, climate scepticism on the rise, and ever-more wary investors (burned by the hundreds of millions of dollars of venture cash spent on hard-to-scale climate moonshots). The attached is where we've got to. 🌎 🚀 Climate Dynamism takes a leaf from the a16z playbook, aligning around the spirit of innovation and resilience driving solutions to the climate emergency through technology. ⚙️ Focusing on fundamentals. Backing great founders in big markets with real exit routes. Being techno-optimist, and viewing regulation as a necessary irritation, not a basis for a business model. Looking for incentive mechanisms that use tech to unlock alignment between players in a market. And importantly, pushing forward, not looking back. ✍️ Building a thesis in public is a fascinating (and mildly terrifying) exercise and I'm here to be pulled apart - how does this make you feel? What are we missing? Very keen to discuss.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has been a driving force behind Climate Tech innovation, creating momentum for clean energy solutions. What happens if that support is cut? With the possibility of a political shift, the incentives many Climate Tech companies depend on could be reduced or restructured, adding another layer of uncertainty to an already challenging sector.
