How can The principles of impact investing be applied to reconcile the exponential growth targets of venture capital with the sustainability demands prevalent in climate tech
| Resumo: | This thesis addresses three key assumptions about green growth, climate technologies, and venture capital's alignment with sustainability, which are implicitly held by many stakeholders in the green venture ecosystem. The main objective is to determine whether the principles of impact investing can reconcile the aggressive growth targets of venture capital with the sustainability demands in climate tech. The research identifies challenges and opportunities in aligning these objectives and suggests strategies to bridge this gap, highlighting the need for coherent definitions, impact measurement methods, and sheds light on the academic debate on green growth versus degrowth. |
