Change Business Journal Volume XVIII, Numbers 10-11-12; Q4 2025 Climate Change Investment & Finance
CCBJ characterizes the state of climate change finance and investment at the end of 2025 as governments, utilities, industry, commercial enterprises and financiers face an uncertain policy environment. Private interests may have taken over some momentum as government policy wanes in certain areas, but global negotiators continue to make incremental progress on adaptation finance. Summaries of public and private investment and expenditure in climate change industry segments, as well as venture and M&A tracking by segment and region, plus a review of commitments coming out of COP30 that may impact short- and long-term markets.
