We’re deploying $750 billion across investing, financing and advisory activities by 2030 and bringing our commercial expertise to help our clients support climate transition and advance inclusive growth.

Transitioning to a Low-Carbon, Inclusive Economy

Supporting the Climate Transition

Climate change is a global challenge. We are investing in industries that are transforming their operations and business models, as well as solution providers, to help usher in a low-carbon economy. We focus on five key themes: clean energy, sustainable transport, sustainable food and agriculture, waste and materials, and ecosystem services.

Advancing Inclusive Growth

We are supporting under-served populations by leveraging our capabilities to improve access and affordability. We focus on four themes: healthcare, financial inclusion, education, and communities. An increasing number of entrepreneurs and enterprises have leveraged technology, business model innovation, and big data to create businesses that grow by driving better outcomes at lower cost for businesses and governments.
