Green Innovation Meets Venture Capital

Against the backdrop of escalating global climate change and the accelerated pursuit of carbon neutrality, green transformation has emerged as a cornerstone of high-quality economic development. Research from the UNEP and the World Bank underscores a persistent and substantial “financing gap” despite the steady growth in climate-related investment. Specifically, the UNEP Adaptation Gap Report 2025 reveals that adaptation funding needs in developing nations currently outstrip actual flows by 12–14 times. Furthermore, the World Bank estimates that cumulative investment opportunities in emerging market cities particularly in clean energy and low-carbon transit will reach $29.4 trillion by 2030.
