What We Do

Climate Finance

The Climate Finance practice operates at the intersection of finance, policy, and technology, supporting financial institutions, governments, development agencies, and corporates in designing, structuring, and deploying climate-aligned capital at scale. Our expertise spans green finance structuring, climate risk integration, carbon markets, MSME decarbonization financing, transition finance for hard-to-abate sectors, and broader sustainable finance solutions. Backed by a multidisciplinary team with strengths in climate science, financial analysis, credit and portfolio management, regulatory alignment, and on-ground implementation, we translate climate ambitions into bankable, investable, and impact-driven outcomes.

Unlocking MSME Decarbonization Finance

We enable financial institutions to unlock MSME decarbonization at scale by addressing structural barriers in access, risk perception, and pipeline development. Our work focuses on designing dedicated green credit lines, defining robust eligibility frameworks, and embedding monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems. We support the development of investable pipelines in energy efficiency, process optimization, and clean technologies, complemented by cluster-level market assessments and lender capacity-building. By integrating financial structuring with on-ground insights, we help institutions scale MSME portfolios while delivering measurable emissions reduction and portfolio performance outcomes.

Scaling RE and Storage through Blended Finance

We design and operationalize blended finance solutions to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy and storage, particularly across distributed and C&I segments. By structuring the optimal mix of concessional, commercial, and catalytic capital, we help de-risk investments and crowd in private capital at scale. Our capabilities span financial structuring, instrument design (including guarantees and subordinated capital), and investment pipeline development. We work closely with capital providers and public institutions to enable efficient capital deployment. The result is commercially viable financing frameworks that accelerate clean energy adoption while optimizing risk-return profiles.

Mainstreaming Transition Finance for Hard-to-Abate Sectors

We support the decarbonization of emissions-intensive sectors by translating complex transition pathways into credible, financeable strategies. Our work includes developing sector-specific transition frameworks and taxonomies, structuring transition-linked financial instruments, and assessing alignment with science-based pathways. We advise on transition-plan diagnostics, sector benchmarking, and capital-structuring solutions that enable phased decarbonization—from efficiency improvements to breakthrough technologies. By balancing ambition with execution feasibility, we help clients mobilize capital toward high-impact sectors while maintaining credibility and minimizing the risk of greenwashing.

Embedding Climate Risk into Financial Decision-Making

We help financial institutions embed climate risk into core business and investment decisions, transforming regulatory compliance into strategic advantage. Our approach integrates physical and transition risk considerations into credit, underwriting, and portfolio management frameworks. We develop borrower-level risk assessments, sectoral analytics, and portfolio stress testing models, alongside disclosure frameworks aligned with TCFD and ISSB. We also support governance design, risk tool development, and institutional capacity building. This enables clients to enhance risk visibility, strengthen resilience, and align portfolios with evolving regulatory and market expectations.

Developing Carbon Markets and Results-Based Finance

We advise clients across the carbon markets ecosystem, enabling participation in both compliance and voluntary mechanisms with credibility and scale. Our work spans carbon pricing strategy, project and methodology selection, and the design of robust MRV systems. We structure outcome-linked financing instruments, including results-based payments and performance-linked capital, and support market readiness assessments. We also provide policy and regulatory advisory services, including emissions trading systems and carbon taxation. By aligning financial mechanisms with verified outcomes, we help unlock new revenue streams and strengthen the integrity of climate finance flows.

Expanding Adaptation and Resilience Financing

We support integrating adaptation and resilience into mainstream financial systems by designing scalable, investable solutions. Our work focuses on structuring financing programmes, enabling access to global climate funds, and strengthening institutional capacity for deployment. We address key challenges, such as long payback horizons and the measurement of avoided losses, through innovative financial and analytical approaches. By combining financial structuring with sectoral and institutional insights, we help clients build resilient investment strategies that address climate vulnerability while aligning with development priorities.

Creating Impact-Linked Financial Products

We design financial instruments that directly link capital to measurable sustainability outcomes, embedding impact into the core of financial contracts. Our expertise includes sustainability-linked loans, green and social bonds, and innovative blended-impact structures. We support end-to-end structuring, including KPI and target setting, framework development aligned with global principles (ICMA, LMA), and MRV architecture. We also prepare clients for external validation and second-party opinions. These solutions enable issuers and investors to align capital allocation with performance-based outcomes, enhancing both credibility and impact.

Mobilizing Green Capital

We enable large-scale mobilization of green capital by bridging gaps among capital providers, policy frameworks, and investment opportunities. Our work includes developing green finance strategies, structuring climate-aligned investment programmes, and designing enabling policy and regulatory frameworks such as taxonomies and disclosure regimes. We facilitate collaboration across public and private stakeholders to unlock capital flows and accelerate deployment. By combining strategic advisory with execution-focused support, we help translate climate ambition into bankable pipelines and scalable financing solutions.
