Climate Capital Network launches global market for investors tcackling climate

Today sees the official launch of a global market for investments tackling climate change at www.climatecapital.net. Climate Capital Network™ will attract and facilitate massive capital flow from investors, to ventures that mitigate and compensate greenhouse gases (GHG) globally. Climate Capital Network (CCN) will accelerate our global transition to a low-carbon economy, by connecting investors and entrepreneurs/companies offering solutions that tackle climate change (e.g. renewable energy, clean technology, energy efficiency, recycling, CDM, JI, CCS, geo-engineering, forestation etc…).

Investors interested in such ventures, and entrepreneurs and companies providing them have to register for FREE at www.climatecapital.net. Climate Capital Network will then conduct due diligence, strategically advise them, provide intelligence, and help them with fundraising.

Over the past year CCN has conducted research in the scale and size of this low-carbon economy and values it at more than a Trillion Dollars*. Michael Mathres, Partner & Co-Founder says: “The Kyoto Protocol is simply not enough! We have to massively reduce our global emissions and have only 10-20 years to fix things. We need to start a Third Industrial Revolution predicated on, and driven by, low-carbon energies and technologies. Climate Capital Network will mobilize global investors, and connect them with these low-carbon solutions.”

WHY DOES CLIMATE CAPITAL NETWORK EXIST? •Our current financial markets are inefficient and ineffective. •There is no global investment market for solutions that tackle climate change. •There is not enough capital addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation. Climate Capital Network is managed by two entrepreneurs with 15 years experience in the climate change and finance industry. Michael Mathres (London) & Alan Ocaña (Paris) are supported by a team of analysts, and an Advisory Board.
