As someone who understands just how important investing is to curbing runaway climate change, Duncan Grierson founded Clim8 Invest to make sustainable investing available to anyone, anywhere – with the click of a button.

Over the past three years, venture capitalist investment into climatetech has doubled to reach $50 billion. The chance to invest in a sector that’s experiencing rapid growth is an ever-more coveted opportunity for institutional investors, but options for everyday investors have still been limited.  

With the Clim8 Invest platform and app, Grierson wants to crack open impact-focused investment opportunities for millions of people and help them claim their stake in the green revolution. 

Whether it’s your pension or your life savings, putting your money into green impact-focused companies can have around 20 times the impact of behavioural changes like eating less meat and flying less, according to Grierson. 

“Wildfires are burning again in Oregon, in California. Germany – one of the richest countries in the world – has been shocked by images of massive flooding. The richest places on the planet are suffering, right here, right now, from the impacts of climate change. When you see that so vividly, it accentuates that we need to make changes,” says Grierson.
