Just Climate, a specialist investment business established by Al Gore’s Generation Investment Management has secured $200 million from funders including got allocations from investors including Royal Bank of Canada, Achmea Investment Management and the Environment Agency Pension Fund. The organization is focused on scaling solutions for the highest-emitting, most off-track sectors of the economy.
Through its investments, the strategy aims to drive transformation in the land use, water and waste sectors to achieve global net-zero and nature positive goals. Currently, the way land is managed accounts for roughly one third of global greenhouse gas emissions and is the primary driver of biodiversity loss. Transforming how land is used, food is produced, water is managed, and waste reduced and utilized unlocks a set of scalable investment opportunities, from biological fertilizers and pesticides to replace chemicals, to development models to finance and operate restoration projects, to technologies that verify carbon, water and biodiversity outcomes with integrity and transparency.
In November 2024, Just Climate’s Natural Climate Solutions strategy welcomed California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) as its institutional anchor and Microsoft’s Climate Innovation Fund as its corporate anchor.
In January 2025, Just Climate’s Natural Climate Solutions strategy announced its first two investments: in NatureMetrics, a leading UK-based biodiversity monitoring company, and GreenLight Biosciences, a leader in next generation biosolutions for agriculture.
