What ALTÉRRA does

ALTÉRRA is the world's largest private climate investment fund, launched at COP28 in December 2023 with a $30 billion commitment from the UAE government. The fund operates three vehicle structures: the $25 billion Acceleration Fund (large-scale climate investments across developed and growth markets), the $5 billion Transformation Fund (catalytic capital for emerging and developing markets), and the more recent Opportunity Fund (a diversified climate co-investment vehicle). Its stated objective is to mobilize $250 billion globally by 2030 to finance the transition to a net-zero, climate-resilient economy.

ALTÉRRA functions as a fund-of-funds and co-investment platform, deploying capital as an anchor limited partner and co-investor alongside the world's largest institutional climate allocators — BlackRock, TPG, Brookfield, KKR, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, General Atlantic (BeyondNetZero), I Squared Capital, and BBVA. Direct co-investments span renewable energy platforms (Evren in India, Absolute Energy in Italy, Inkia Energy in Peru), climate-enabling IoT (Wireless Logic in the UK), and anchor commitments to dedicated climate vehicles (Brookfield Catalytic Transition Fund, TPG Global South Initiative, CIP Growth Markets Fund II, KKR Global Climate Transition Strategy). As of the 2025 Impact Report, the portfolio comprised 30+ investments across 9 countries and 5 continents supporting an estimated 95–100 GW renewable energy pipeline.

The fund is regulated by the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) Financial Services Regulatory Authority under Altérra Management Limited and is operated by Lunate, the Abu Dhabi alternative investment firm. Leadership combines high-level governmental and diplomatic experience — H.E. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber (Chairman, former COP28 UAE President, ADNOC CEO) and H.E. Majid Al Suwaidi (CEO, former COP28 Director General) — with private-market execution expertise in investments (Karim Radwan, Crystal Wan, Iftikhar Ahmed) and impact (Jennifer Park, Niels Storm Stenbeak). The fund addresses the $2 trillion annual climate finance gap by deploying capped-return catalytic structures designed to crowd-in institutional private capital, particularly into the Global South where only ~20% of climate finance currently flows.
