Investment in climate tech is heating up almost as fast as climate change itself. In 2021, climate tech startups received $40+ billion across more than 600 deals. That’s more than double the capital investment made in 2020. 

As S&P Global recently reported, corporate sustainability efforts are under increasing scrutiny from investors, regulators and the public at large — placing corporations in the spotlight to actually behave differently. As a result, many corporate venture capital firms — particularly those with strong Environmental Social Governance (ESG) policies — are increasingly interested in startups focused on climate change tech.
