The Climate Tech Outlook for 2024

Climate tech investments reached $32 billion, marking a 30% decrease from the previous year, yet still outperforming the broader venture market, which saw a 39% decline. Despite the downturn, climate tech demonstrated resilience, bringing the sector's total funding since 2020 to $142 billion, with a notable 29% increase in investments during 2023.

In other words, climate tech is still attracting strong investments, but the speed of its investment growth is slowing down.

So what is expected to happen in 2024?
What are the key trends influencing climate tech investing?
What technologies have the potential to break out?

To answer these questions, we’ve brought together leading climate investing experts from North America and Europe — and an economist to drive the discussion on the macroeconomic trends.

Murray is also a former Olympian who competed for Canada in the 1992 Barcelona games.

Iris ten Have (Head of Science at Extantia)
