Climate FinTech Report by New Energy Nexus
Mapping an Emerging Ecosystem of Climate Catalysts
Digital financial technology (known today as Fintech) has already disrupted the global financial system, but can it be used directly to improve our planet’s well-being?
Recent improvements to banking, customer experiences, and investment decision-making do not always consider the health of our planet, so how can Fintech be channeled and applied to address climate change? Within this report, we set out to explore how Fintech can help mobilize more capital in the pursuit of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The inaugural Climate Fintech Report explores crucial intersections of digital financial technology and climate as a fresh perspective by which to pursue decarbonization – through nurturing an emerging digital ecosystem of climate capital catalysts.
Eric van der Kleij, cofounder of EdenBase has been interviewed for this report which is a distillation of over 100 interviews from 2020 with financial institutions, Open Banking experts, climate scientists, blockchain advocates, cleantech VCs, and climate fintech startups, among others
