GPCA released its latest report, Climate Funds in Global Markets: Mapping Private Capital Strategies. Focus on climate change is accelerating among institutional investors as net-zero targets near, spurring private capital fund managers globally to raise capital for climate solutions.

 

To meet LP demand, GPs are marketing new strategies – or building on existing strategies – aligned to the net-zero transition.

 

This feature maps climate-dedicated funds across GPCA markets – including Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Africa, CEE and the Middle East – exploring the sectors and strategies driving commitments and the climate-related outcomes investors are prioritizing.
