About This Project

Summary

The climate crisis demands every tool we have. Climate & Gender Investing in Action proves inclusion is one of them. Where most research at the climate + gender nexus treats equity as a moral good, this report shows its strategic power. Mapping 18 funds across five continents and 150+ globally, it demonstrates how equity improves climate solutions, drives adoption, builds resilience, and unlocks new markets, offering cutting-edge evidence for a smarter, more effective climate finance system.

Goals & Objectives

To provide the field’s first comprehensive evidence that gender-smart climate investing works in practice, not just in theory. By showcasing real funds, data, and tools, the report equips investors and advocates to make the case that equity strengthens solutions and unlocks opportunities.

Results & Impact

This report shifts the field from “what could work” to “what does.” Featuring 18 funds with $2.8B AUM and 150+ mapped globally, it gives investors proof points to scale. It has already sparked global media coverage and field dialogue, positioning inclusive climate finance as essential strategy.
