Climate & Security Finance
The geopolitical landscape is shifting rapidly: global alliances are being reshaped, and security is climbing the priority list of governments worldwide. Yet security cannot be understood in isolation from sustainability – the two are profoundly interlinked.
Climate change acts as a threat multiplier, magnifying many of the key drivers that underlie conflict and instability, such as water and food insecurity, displacement and migration, resource competition, and broader economic conditions. It is no coincidence that many of the world’s most conflict-prone countries are also among those that are the most vulnerable to climate change.[1]
Despite these clear linkages, too little capital reaches climate- and conflict-prone regions, and the mechanisms that do exist are often constrained by the limitations of traditional public spending.[2]
BwB is working to change that. We are focused on breaking down the barriers that prevent financial flows from reaching the places that need them most, diversifying the types of capital operating at the intersection of climate and security, and innovating with financial instruments to overcome the obstacles that conventional funding cannot.
Our goal is to grow the scale and sources of investment directed towards projects and infrastructure that deliver both tangible security and meaningful climate benefits.
This work demands a combination of skills: fluency in capital markets and the financial world, deep sustainability expertise, and trusted relationships that span borders and institutions. BwB brings all three, drawing on a rich network of investors, supranational institutions, and national and local governments across the Global North and South.
We see the nexus of climate change and security not as a challenge to be managed, but as a powerful lever for driving a more peaceful and prosperous future, for both humanity and the planet, into the 21st century and beyond.
