Just Climate

Overview

Just Climate is an investment business established by Generation Investment Management, focusing on climate-led investing to address the net-zero challenge at scale. Their mission is to identify and invest in high-impact solutions for climate mitigation, aiming to catalyse and multiply capital to scale these solutions. By harnessing institutional capital, Just Climate seeks to set a new standard for climate-led investing. The firm employs a 'climate-led' investment approach, targeting sectors such as energy, transportation, buildings, and heavy industry—industries that are significant sources of global emissions. Just Climate's strategy involves backing solutions that can radically reduce or remove emissions while generating attractive risk-adjusted financial returns. Their inaugural fund, Climate Assets Fund I, closed in June 2023 with $1.5 billion in institutional capital, exceeding its $1 billion target. Just Climate's investment philosophy is rooted in the belief that addressing the net-zero challenge requires substantial capital directed towards transformative solutions. They aim to make climate-led investing a capital allocation imperative, demonstrating that financial returns and positive climate impact can go hand in hand. The firm is committed to supporting the transition to a sustainable and equitable future by investing in solutions that can make the most significant difference in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
