ABREN works with investors and developers to transform the world by stimulating capital flows into critical funding gaps while achieving appropriate risk adjusted returns. ABREN's investment qualification framework is rooted in over 30 years of sustainable development expertise informed by climate science, financial structuring, behavioral economics and human potential. ABREN and its partners provide technical support and investment capital to early-stage climate companies and projects to prove their commercial viability.

ABREN works with partners to:

• Provide technical support in the form of financial, engineering, project development and science capacity to climate entrepreneurs to develop and deliver viable climate impact projects. 
• Raise and manage a family of impact funds that are rooted in science and community needs.
• Apply a rigorous investment process that embeds climate metrics into investment criteria and applies full cost analysis to risk adjusted pricing.

Key ABREN markets include: 

• Sustainable Infrastructure - natural capital and built environment solutions including water management, waste reduction and reuse, renewable energy, sustainable and regenerative agriculture, food security, and housing.
• Emerging Markets - around the world including lower income countries and underserved or neglected communities in the US.  

Inclusive Growth for the Benefit of the Environment and Society

Innovation + Empowerment + Investment = Regeneration + Inclusion + Prosperity  

With increasing institutional funding available to invest in the urgent climate crisis, capital must flow into priority, challenging solutions that create immediate and sustainable impacts for the environment and community stakeholders.  To meaningfully address climate impacts, it is estimated that more than:

• $5.2 trillion in annual global energy transition investments to achieve Net Zero by 2050 (IEA); 
• $4.5 trillion are needed annually to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals; and
• $750 billion per year are required to close the Global Biodiversity Finance Gap.   

A significant challenge is that many high-impact climate-smart solutions are relatively young, require focused local expertise and community engagement, and need patient funding and consistent technical assistance to scale pilot projects into attractive investment opportunities for larger investors.  These needs are frequently missed by many traditional investors who typically prefer to invest in large scale projects developed by well-established development partners.  

ABREN expands client participation in this market by streamlining investment due diligence, project structuring and financing strategies in order to access high impact markets, while achieving appropriate risk adjusted returns for investors.   

Abren focuses on Sustainable Infrastructure that transforms ecosystems and builds resilient communities and economies, while creating prosperity for investors and stakeholders.  Infrastructure projects address essential ecosystem services provided by biodiverse water and land habitats, alongside sustainable human adaptation in the built environment.  This includes projects in water protection, efficiency, and management, renewable energy, food and agriculture, waste reduction and recovery, and housing and green buildings.
