Amsterdam, March 27, 2023: The Phenix Capital Group’s Impact Report of March 2023 discloses top-down data on Net-Zero-aligned impact funds which specifically collect and report to investors on net-zero-aligned metrics, such as GHG emissions reductions.
This report comes as a great tool for institutional investors interested in doing their part in this urgent cause, which was highlighted in the media this week because of the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The recent release of the IPCC made clear there is little chance of keeping the world from warming by 1.5°C or less by 2050, given it has already warmed by 1.1°C. Overshooting 1.5°C could happen during the 2030s, potentially triggering tipping points that cannot be uncrossed. The urgency of achieving net zero has never been greater.
So what can be done? Investments in clean energy, for example, must quadruple in the next 20 years. Around $3.5 trillion a year of capital investment will be needed on average between now and 2050 to build a net-zero global economy. This is up from $1 trillion per annum today, according to a new report from the Energy Transitions Commission.

To provide colour on the overview of net zero aligned impact funds, this report combines top-down net-zero data from Phenix Capital’s Impact Database with an exclusive interview with Jim Hourdequin, Chief Executive Officer at The Lyme Timber Company.
“Conserving biodiversity, improving water quality, and protecting land can also be co-benefits for carbon projects supported by corporate net zero initiatives, but they are critically important for our future”, reminds Jim.
