“Pegasus has been strengthening access to clean energy, regenerative agriculture, water systems, and ocean health — and creating jobs — for decades, not just making promises,” Rogers said. “The Pegasus team asks ‘what needs to be built, and how can we structure the financing to optimize the outcomes?’ not ‘where can we park capital?’ Embracing complexity, contrarianism, and sustainability, Pegasus gets what finance is for. I’m excited to amplify their impact in the Global South.
