Research & Analytics
The CREO Team and our Community bring a wealth of knowledge at the intersection of investment and sustainability solutions. Our rigorous approach to research is evident in reports that provide market landscaping, trend analysis, and deep dives into technology insights across various sectors.
CREO’s Research & Analytics library reflects our commitment to equipping CREO members, partners and other investors with the information and knowledge needed to drive change and to catalyze capital into sustainability investments.
Our body of research spans nearly a decade and includes close to 100 publications ranging from short market commentaries to comprehensive flagship reports.
Topics include sector-specific deep dives such as regenerative agriculture, nuclear energy, and environment–friendly building materials, as well as research on investing in sustainability and first-of-a-kind risk transfer.
Globally, climate finance has doubled in under a decade to $2 trillion in 2025. This momentum has shifted the trajectory of warming from a ~3.6°C end-of-century trajectory in 2015 to ~2.7°C today. Despite progress, global climate finance still needs to scale 3-4x by 2030 to bring emissions in line with a trajectory toward net zero. Capital continues to concentrate in the Energy, Transport, and Built Environment sectors with technologies that are cost-competitive with higher-emission alternatives.
Though funding is insufficient across all sectors, the scale-up required will be materially smaller in these sectors at 2-4x by 2030, compared to 25-80x scale-up needed in Industry, Agrifood, and Carbon Management. Public sector capital deployment has stagnated across regions, and it is the private sector that has stepped up and will be increasingly essential to accelerate the deployment of capital..
A PDF version of the paper will then be made available. You’ll only need to provide your information once and subsequent downloads won’t require re-entry. We do not send any emails. This step is just to ensure you have seamless access to the full research library moving forward.
