The scale and sophistication of the impact investing market has grown tremendously over the last five years. The GIIN has worked to support this growth by building a vibrant community of impact investors and equipping them to deploy capital at scale and with integrity.

In the years since the adoption of the Paris Climate Accords in 2015, global GHG emissions have continued to rise and are on track to exceed 1.5 degree Celsius. The IPCC has laid out a goal for achieving global net zero emissions by 2050, which requires urgent action to change course in a short period given the lag between implementing action and seeing the climate benefits. Numerous analyses have pointed to the very significant investment needed to finance a transition to a low-carbon economy. Given the increasingly short timelines remaining to achieve change, it is critical to not just increase the flow of investment, but also to ensure that capital is deployed in ways that have sufficient impact to change the trajectory of the accumulation of GHGs. Fortunately, the financial community has recognized the challenge and the urgency, and increasingly is framing climate investment strategies in relation to global net zero goals. However, while significant progress has been made in...
