Bridging the Climate Financing Gap
Substantial challenges exist…
The Climate Financing Gap is $2-3trn annually until 2030. The associated complexity, tech risk and timeframes are a poor match to ‘quarterly capitalism.’
The existing financial ecosystem is struggling to accommodate within their current investment mandates, public funding is slow to deploy and lacks innovation DNA.
…TFN is an independent consultant and financial advisor…
…founded to bridge the climate financing gap between scale ups and investors
Success requires creative thinking and bespoke approaches to business models, pitching the value proposition, and financial structuring to match diverse investor mandates.
We offer end-to-end support to climate scale-ups applying expertise in project management, innovative structuring and strategic finance to unlock opportunities for resource-constrained clients.
”… nothing short of a total transformation of the energy systems that underpin our economies…requires vast amounts of investment, innovation, skilful policy design and implementation, technology deployment, infrastructure building, international co‐operation”
(IEA Net Zero by 2050)
