Bill Green is a veteran infrastructure investor, one who understands that we need to change our approach to building (and financing) the basic facilities and systems that undergird our daily lives in response to rising climate impacts.

As Managing Partner at Climate Adaptive Infrastructure (CAI), a fund dedicated to climate-resilient, low-carbon projects, Bill and his team have pioneered a unique methodology for assessing potential investments based on their ability to withstand the ‘triple threat’ posed by climate change.

In this episode, Bill takes us through the fund’s process, talks about some of his recent investments, and offers his take on the current state-of-play in climate-aware infrastructure investment.

Listen below, download from the Podcasts page on Climate Proof, or tune in via Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

We talk about:

👉 How Climate Adaptive Infrastructure came to be, and its investment thesis

👉 The ‘triple threat’ climate analysis methodology CAI uses to weigh investment prospects

👉 His enthusiasm for ‘Water as a Service’ as an emerging opportunity

👉 Why he thinks the vogue for climate-resilient, low-carbon infrastructure will survive political shifts

👉 What governments and the public sector could do to promote more climate-friendly projects and capital flows
