Net Zero Investor’s Climate Solutions Summit

Private Equity investment in climate solutions is critical to achieving net zero.
Yet for institutional investors, navigating the landscape of investable climate technologies, nature-based solutions, and low-carbon infrastructure remains a complex challenge. This event brings together leading asset owners, managers, and investment consultants to examine the role of climate solution investments within institutional portfolios.

Gain insight into how various transition pathways are shaping investment strategies. Assess mitigation and adaptation technologies in the context of your decarbonisation goals. Uncover the potential for climate solutions to deliver both impact and returns.

Potential topic and investment areas include:

  • Energy & Power Systems Clean generation, storage, and the infrastructure/software enabling modern electricity systems
  • Transport & Mobility Low-carbon transport solutions across road, freight, aviation, and shipping
  • Industry & Materials Decarbonisation of heavy industry, including chemicals, fuels, and industrial processes
  • Buildings & Built Environment Energy efficiency, electrification, and low-carbon construction across real estate and cities
  • Food, Land & Water Agriculture, natural capital, and resource efficiency including waste and circular economy

 A different kind of industry conversation


Our summits are designed as expanded roundtable discussions — immersive, interactive events where every voice matters.

Throughout the day, we intersperse short, focused presentations with open-floor dialogue. Each talk is intended to spark discussion rather than deliver a one-way lecture. Following each presentation, participants are invited to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and share their own perspectives. This creates a collaborative space for genuine knowledge exchange.

Participation

Our format works best when everyone is engaged.
We encourage — and expect — participants to contribute to the conversation. While we make exceptions for those wishing to observe quietly, the ethos of a summit is active involvement.

Reporting & Publication

The purpose of each summit is to surface valuable perspectives, insights, and challenges — which we then capture in a post-event report.

  • On the record: All conversations are on the record unless explicitly stated otherwise.
  • Accuracy first: We record discussions to ensure accuracy and avoid misquoting.

This approach ensures we preserve the richness of the conversation while maintaining transparency and trust.

The case for Climate Solutions

As investors increasingly turn to private markets in search of both returns and sustainability impact, what role should venture capital and private equity play in scaling climate solutions & why is it becoming essential?

How should investors think about their role beyond capital, in enabling innovation and adoption? Why are VC and PE critical to delivering climate solutions at scale? & Where does the funding gap exist for key climate technologies (and who is responsible for closing it)?

3:35

VC/PE for institutional portfolios

While climate-focused venture and private equity strategies present significant opportunity, questions around risk, return, and implementation remain. How should institutional investors approach allocation in practice?

Debate and discuss how VC/PE investments fit within portfolios:

  • How can the perceived risk case be better understood or challenged and what role manager selection play in accessing the best opportunities?
  • What returns can investors expect across subsectors, and how should they navigate early-stage venture through to growth and late-stage equity?
4:10

Impact measurement

As climate investing evolves, investors are placing increasing emphasis on how impact is defined, measured, and communicated. But what does best practice look like in practice?

Explore how institutions are embedding impact into their strategies:

Should investors dedicate specific impact funds, or embed impact across the whole portfolio? How is Scope 4 (avoided emissions) shaping investment frameworks? What is the role and value of ESG reporting in climate strategies? How can case studies be used to demonstrate value to stakeholders, members, and shareholders?

4:30

Climate solutions case studies x2 - Climate fund case studies
