At this year’s FFD4 in Seville, Allied Climate Partners’ Senior Advisor Clarisa De Franco moderated a panel on one of the most persistent barriers to scaling climate solutions in emerging markets: the shortfall in equity and catalytic equity. As Dana Barsky put it: “Equity is a teeny tiny dot in a sea of debt.” And yet, equity is foundational. Without it, projects can’t raise debt, and without debt, they can’t get built. This session marked the first public discussion of forthcoming research from Allied Climate Partners, Climate Policy Initiative, Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), and Wood Mackenzie, developed through The World Bank’s Private Sector Investment Lab (PSIL), which looks at how much equity and catalytic equity is needed to accelerate the clean energy transition in EMDEs, and how to unlock more of it. The discussion surfaced key takeaways: • We need more equity and catalytic equity – especially to support early-stage and high-impact projects that otherwise can’t reach bankability. • Catalytic equity is working. Institutions like British International Investment, IFC - International Finance Corporation, Green Climate Fund, Allied Climate Partners and others are using it to mobilize commercial investment and accelerate delivery on climate goals. • In a world of retreating ODA and tighter budgets, catalytic equity offers a way to do more with less by crowding in private capital, reducing risk, and enabling scale. • We’re actively gathering feedback on the draft research and welcome ideas and partnership as we finalize the work for release later this year. Equity in climate remains scarce and concentrated in a small set of institutions. What we need is more partners, more standardization, and a focus on replication and impact. A sincere thank you to our partners and panelists, including Alfonso García Mora (IFC - International Finance Corporation), Charles Ehrhart (Green Climate Fund), Lucy Heintz (Actis), and those who joined the earlier discussion moderated by Barbara Buchner with Dana Barsky (Standard Chartered), Leslie Maasdorp (British International Investment), and Valahu Philippe (The Private Infrastructure Development Group), for contributing to a focused and forward-looking conversation. #FFD4 #ClimateFinance #CatalyticCapital #DevelopmentFinance #EquityGap #EmergingMarkets

We’re thrilled to announce that we officially launched Allied Talent Partners (ATP), yesterday at the inaugural Mission 300 Africa Energy Summit in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Africa faces monumental climate and energy challenges. With 300 million people still lacking access to electricity, the need for specialized talent to drive innovative and impactful solutions has never been more urgent. ATP is dedicated to supporting leading stakeholders, including the The World Bank Bank, the Trade and Development Bank Group - TDB Group (TDB), the The Rockefeller Foundation, The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP), and others, in achieving the ambitious goals of Mission 300 and advancing broader energy access and climate-focused initiatives. By aligning with these critical partners, ATP ensures the right expertise is deployed to accelerate solutions and build local capacity across the region. We’re proud to partner with transformative organizations to deliver tangible impact. Alongside the The African Climate Foundation, we’ve formalized MOUs with Gridworks and Meridiam, who have already leveraged our talent platform to source high-caliber experts for their critical projects. These partnerships reflect our shared commitment to nurturing local expertise and scaling game-changing climate and energy initiatives across Africa. Our mission is clear: to empower Africa’s transition to sustainable energy while fostering local expertise, strengthening capacity, and supporting economic growth by tapping into the growing pool of independent, highly skilled professionals.

Mark Gallogly, Allied Climate Partners Chair, highlighted India's pivotal role in global climate action and economic growth through sustainability in a recent interview at #ClimateTechConveningIndia2025. Gallogly sees India's opportunity as transformative: maintaining high growth while pioneering a low-carbon development path. "No country in the world is more important on this issue than India," he notes, emphasizing that sustainability represents "the world's greatest challenge and its greatest economic opportunity." By creating economic value while reducing carbon emissions, India can serve as a global model for #sustainabledevelopment.

Rounded off the year with a visit to some of ACP's partners in India, together with Clarisa De Franco, Dory Li, Ashley Gorman. We touched down in Delhi amidst the most severe air pollution of the year, with AQI of 500+. You could barely see more than 100m ahead from the smog. Our team witnessed firsthand the importance of sustainable development that addresses both climate and local development needs – something Indian investment managers, the climate finance ecosystem, and the government are committed to. India is perhaps THE most consequential country for climate because of the massive scale of its current and future emissions. The IEA estimates that by 2050, electricity demand from ACs alone in India is projected to exceed the total power consumption in the entire African continent! India also holds many of the answers to the energy transition with new and affordable technologies and innovative business models that can be transferred to other emerging economies. Electric 2- and 3-wheelers have taken off at unprecedented scale. Solar and wind are being deployed rapidly, with the entire ecosystem seeking to meet the government’s ambitious goal of 500GW of renewable capacity by 2030. Creative solutions, strong partnerships, and a strong anchor in impact are needed to drive the energy transition. At Allied Climate Partners, we're looking forward to working with local partners to drive that transition as fast as humanly possible.

As we approach the end of a year filled with significant political and economic challenges, the importance of investment in supporting sustainable development has never been clearer. ACP’s CEO, Ahmed Saeed, will be addressing these critical issues at the upcoming event, "Emerging Markets: Investing in development at a time of political change" hosted by the Financial Times. This discussion will delve into the complex landscape that investors face today — where political stability, governance, and economic resilience play vital roles in shaping investment strategies. #FTGlobalBoardroom #SustainableDevelopment Georgia Levenson Keohane Yemi Lalude Nick Rohatyn Patrick Temple-West

I caught up with Ed Crooks and Racquel Moses at COP29 Azerbaijan in Baku on the role of early-stage catalytic equity in #climatefinance, the gap of available equity in EMDEs and the value of the COP process as it evolves.

To drive change, we all need partners. Our collaboration with Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) is one that we really value. Together at #COP29, we engaged in meaningful discussions on climate finance and the transition to clean energy in developing countries. Thank you, SEforALL, for your unwavering support and for creating a distinctive platform for collaboration and dialogue.
