Climate Solutions Partnership: Showcase Report 2020-2025

The Climate Solutions Partnership (CSP) report details the results of a five-year philanthropic commitment to scale climate innovation and nature-based solutions. Key achievements include unlocking US$635.4 million in finance, avoiding 7.81 million tonnes of GHG emissions, and managing 13 million hectares for biodiversity. The program implemented diverse projects, such as renewable energy aggregation for SMEs in China, solar-powered dairy cooling in India, and the development of environmental compensation laws in Mexico and El Salvador. It also focused on supply chain transparency in the palm oil sector and the creation of financial toolkits to combat environmental crimes.

• The CSP achieved significant quantitative impacts by December 2024, including unlocking US$635.4 million in total finance and projecting the avoidance or sequestration of 7.81 million tonnes of GHG emissions.
• In China, the CSP enabled 14 SME suppliers to access a 200MW offshore solar farm through a US$190 million aggregated power purchasing agreement (PPA) with China General Nuclear Power Group, avoiding 200,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.
• The Green Energy-as-a-Service (GEAS) model in Indonesia, developed with PLN, created a bundled Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) product; the initial REC scheme attracted over 1,600 customers and avoided 439 million tCO2.
• The NbS Accelerator supported six projects to reach investment readiness, with one coastal mangrove restoration project in Kenya securing US$1.1 million in early-stage investment.
• The CSP influenced national policy in Latin America, leading to the enactment of environmental compensation laws in Veracruz, Mexico (November 2024) and El Salvador (2023/2024) to incentivize restoration and fund conservation.
• To improve palm oil supply chain transparency in Indonesia, the Hamurni traceability app was developed, registering over 2,400 smallholders and tracing 10,621 tonnes of fresh fruit bunches by December 2024.
• In India, the CSP implemented solar-powered milk chillers across 20 districts in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan, benefiting 22,550 dairy farmers and securing a 60% government subsidy on instant milk chillers.
• The Forest Carbon Flux Data Initiative provided a globally consistent view of forest emissions, revealing that ten out of 200 UNESCO World Heritage sites were unexpectedly net carbon sources.
• The partnership developed the Environmental Crimes Financial Toolkit to help financial institutions detect illicit activities related to deforestation and land conversion, reaching 30,000 unique users by October 2024.
