Our primary focus currently is on climate mitigation rather than adaptation. While adaptation and resilience are essential for coping with the current and future impacts of climate change and further work is required there, too, the GIIN has decided to focus on mitigation thus aiming to address the underlying cause by actively reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By prioritizing mitigation, we aim to prevent further environmental damage and decrease the necessity for adaptation measures in the future. This proactive approach allows us to tackle the problem at its source, ensuring that our efforts have lasting and far-reaching effects on stabilizing the climate. 

Focusing on climate solutions is where GIIN can be most effective in achieving long-term sustainability. These solutions encompass technologies and practices that directly tackle the source of greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, it drives systemic change by transforming our energy, transportation, agricultural and industrial systems to be more sustainable and resilient.  

CSIAC members are appointed by the GIIN based on their ability to contribute expertise and leadership in the climate solutions investing practice. The CSIAC members reflect the climate solutions investment chain – pension funds, insurers, family offices, asset managers, Limited Partners, General Partners and NGOs in total and are drawn from a range of geographies.
