Venture Climate Alliance
About Us
Manage risk, create value.
Venture capital investors play an outsized role in shaping and accelerating pathways to net zero emissions across technologies, industries, and geographies. The VCA provides GPs with voluntary, practitioner-developed tools, resources, and support to capitalize on opportunities and manage risks inherent in the global climate transition. Our mission is to be the leading voice for the VC industry on climate-aligned value creation.
Why Us
By venture capital, for the teams we invest in.
For both generalist VC firms and those investing in climate solutions exclusively, anticipating and managing climate-related risks and opportunities cannot wait until later. In order for our portfolio companies to enter and thrive in dynamic markets where climate will play a much greater role, VCs must shape and share best practices that prepare our teams to navigate the accelerating climate transition and embody the next generation of category-defining industry leadership. The VCA helps member GPs and portfolio companies embed relevant climate aligned practices within businesses from day one.
