Investment approach
Financing GHG Reduction Projects
There is a lack of effective and cost-efficient short-term solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and carbon markets are often overlooked and can be ineffecient.
The Inlandsis Fund leverages carbon markets to finance projects that reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions. Inlandsis is committed to decarbonizing the economy while preserving biodiversity and natural capital.
SDGs Pursued by the Fund
Each fund is based on a theory of change that functions as a conceptual framework for how investments are made towards social and environnemental goals, linked to the SDGs.
