Nature- and technology-based carbon offset projects could create $1.4 trillion of annual revenue by 2050, up from about $300 million today. For comparison, according to consultancy Rystad Energy, the oil and gas industry is projected to bring in $1.5 trillion this year - about 40% less than it did in 2019.

This niche in venture capital has grown by 84% CAGR over the last six years, which is 5x the growth of VC capital overall.

Thousands of companies, countries, and cities have made bold climate pledges by 2050, but they need lots of help getting there.
