What Are Climate Change Funds & Investments?
Climate change funds are impact investments that contribute to the reduction of water scarcity and the improvement of local infrastructure geared towards improving water cleanliness and safety. In some parts of the world, this means creating water treatment facilities to make existing water supply safe to use. In others, it means mitigating floods and finding new and more sustainable ways to grow food to support growing towns.
Water and Climate Change Are Altering the Way Communities Function
In the developed world, it’s easy to see climate change and water scarcity as abstract concepts. We live in insulated buildings, have heating and cooling systems, and clean water is available right at the tap. However, for much of the global population, it’s a very real crisis. Without clean water, communities cannot survive and disease can and will spread.
Climate change funds work to address those areas of need while giving investors returns on their investments year after year.
What This Means for the Developed World
Though developed countries may not notice water issues as quickly as other parts of the world, it’s hard to deny that water and climate change are a threat to us as well. By investing in climate change funds, investors are actively helping develop new technology and increased understanding of how to reduce the impact of water scarcity in the future.
Many of the same techniques developed with the funds from these investments can be used and improved upon to help bolster our existing conservation efforts here at home. When we come together as a global community and commit to improving water supplies and water treatment systems, we can make a huge and immediate difference.
Invest in Climate Change Funds. Invest in Our Future.
Though news outlets and government officials like to question whether climate change is, in fact, real, it’s hard to deny that things are changing. People are already starting to feel the shift in weather and drought threatens global food supplies daily. Only through a commitment to changing existing technology and infrastructure can we possibly hope to change our future.
When you invest in climate change funds, you invest not just in developing countries, but in your own as well. You’ll have the peace of mind knowing that you’re making a difference and growing your income at the same time.
