Investing in climate private equity during uncertain times

In 2022, climate-related private market investment increased by 7%, while overall private market equity deal volume declined by 24% compared to 2021.* McKinsey argues that continued investments and actions from governments, corporations and investors in climate tech will shield the space from macro trends like high interest rates and labor shortages.

Despite climate tech being one of the most resilient segments in 2022, there’s been a recent decline. In Q1, climate tech startups raised $5.7 billion across 279 VC deals — a 35% decline compared to the previous quarter.* So as climate tech’s outlook continually shifts, the question still remains:

Is it a good time to invest in climate tech during uncertainty?

To answer this question, we’ve brought together experienced climate investing experts from across the globe to drive the discussion.
