Climate Fund Managers joins the Climate Bonds Network

London, 23/03/2026, 12:00pm: Climate Fund Managers has joined the Climate Bonds Initiative’s Network Membership, supporting Climate Bonds’ mission to mobilise capital towards climate action and scale the global sustainable finance market.

Climate Fund Managers is a climate-focused blended finance investment manager operating in emerging markets across Africa, Asia and Latin America. In collaboration with the European Commission, Climate Fund Managers is working with the Climate Bonds Initiative to connect global institutional fixed-income investors to climate action in emerging markets through blended finance investment vehicles.

With almost USD 3.0 billion in assets under management and targeting an additional USD 4 billion, Climate Fund Managers’ blended private equity and private credit vehicles invest across key climate mitigation and adaptation themes including: renewable energy; energy transition and green hydrogen; water, waste and maritime; and sustainable cities and the built environment. Climate Fund Managers currently supports 50 active projects across its Climate Investor One, Two and Three equity funds and has recently expanded into private credit through the GAIA Climate Loan Fund.

Climate Fund Managers joins over 85 members worldwide in the Climate Bonds Network, which brings together banks, investors, governments, regulators, issuers, and industry leaders. Network members benefit from enhanced visibility and credibility, access to Climate Bonds’ technical research and market intelligence, and opportunities to participate in member-only roundtables, technical reviews, and consultations that help shape standards, taxonomies, and market frameworks.

Network members also gain access to Climate Bonds’ practical, tailored training delivered by Climate Bonds experts. These trainings cover foundational to advanced knowledge across key climate themes, including green, social, sustainability, and sustainability-linked (GSS+) bonds, transition finance strategies and planning, and adaptation and resilience.

Sean Kidney, CEO, Climate Bonds Initiative

“70% of the climate investments we need to make will be in emerging markets. Climate Fund Managers, with its innovative blended finance risk management, is making Africa and South Asia investible for the world’s pension and insurance funds. We love their work!” 

Andrew Johnstone, CEO, Climate Fund Managers:

“There is clear and growing institutional appetite to allocate capital to climate action. By working with the Climate Bonds Initiative and the European Commission, we aim to enable global fixed-income investors to access blended finance vehicles supporting climate mitigation and adaptation at scale in emerging markets, where financing gaps remain most acute.”

By joining the Climate Bonds Network, Climate Fund Managers reinforces its role as a blended finance innovator, developing structures that align institutional capital with climate impact at scale.
