South Pole advises organisations across the private and public sector on developing and implementing initiatives that provide financing and technical assistance to projects and SMEs that deliver climate impact in clean energy, land use, cities and carbon removals.
The world is facing a climate finance gap. If we want to realise a net zero world, more than 10 times the current funding needs to be sourced and deployed than is being done today. Taking into account the limitations of public budgets, private investments have to be mobilised at scale to address the climate crisis.
South Pole Climate Investments removes the barriers to private investment and ensures that climate finance is invested for maximum impact.
We are here to help you, as company, government, non-profit or city to finance climate action at scale. Key services include climate finance vehicle design, project sourcing and evaluation, technical due diligence, setting up governance, impact and monitoring frameworks. In addition, our team also helps you to provide technical assistance to ensure bankabilit of low-carbon projects and infrastructure, and thereby unlock investments at scale, with a particular focus on cities.
