SouthPole

South Pole's climate venture vehicles bring together companies, governments, philanthropies and wealthy individuals to pool capital, with the view to develop and promote new climate technologies and innovative climate businesses at scale.

These funds and pools of capital - next to positive climate impact - also contribute to different Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They measure the SDG impact with dedicated tools.

Funders in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors are looking for innovative ways to finance global climate goals, and build climate resilience.

To address common barriers to climate finance, such as the lack of know-how and sound investment opportunities, South Pole structures and manages pools of capitals that identify, invest in, and build high potential businesses and ventures.

South Pole works with clients across the private, public and non-profit sectors to develop, structure, implement and manage venture vehicles in the areas of Energy, Land & Water or Technology & Industry. Vehicles currently under management or available for investment include:

-Technology Fund: Providing loan guarantees to climate-friendly SMEs.

-Landscape Resilience Fund: Investing in projects and local businesses improving the climate change resilience of smallholder farmers and other vulnerable communities in the land-use sector.

-Water Action Fund: Focusing on sustainable supply chains, including water efficiency and improved use of natural water infrastructure.

-Bespoke Climate Funds: South Pole works with clients to develop, structure, implement and manage new venture funds in the area of Energy, Land, Water, Technology & Industry.

The Next Generation Carbon Removal Purchase Facility aims to procure between US$300-800 million in certified carbon removal credits by 2030.
