[Climate Week NYC 2026 Event] Capital at the Crossroads: Balancing Impact, Innovation, and Sustainable Growth

The discussion is structured around three “buckets” of climate investment capital and how each strategy impacts climate change, including the pros, cons, interrelationships, and trade-offs between each.The three buckets include investments in companies or assets that: Deliver near-term, measurable climate impact, e.g. renewables, energy storage, industrial retrofits; Lean towards a longer-term climate impact and typically involve new and emerging technologies with significant cost, risk, and innovation, e.g. cutting-edge tech, novel chemistry, software; Keep the innovation and investing ecosystem itself sustainable but carry carbon footprints of their own, e.g. data centres, semiconductor fabrication, critical minerals mining.
