Climate-related investment funds raised $101bn in 2025, up 40% YoY.

78% of funding was raised by infrastructure investors in their strongest year yet while the capital VC/growth funds closed on fell by 5% YoY to 14bn.

Infrastructure funds have cash to finance the deployment of mature climate technologies like lithium-ion batteries for stationary energy storage and charging infrastructure. But, emerging technologies face a tighter fundraising landscape as VC/growth investors struggle to raise funds.
