Artha Impact (Rianta Capital)

🥐 Join us on October 22 for an engaging Impact for Breakfast session "Revolutionizing education & employment for disadvantaged youth: Insights from three pioneering ventures" at the elea Zurich office, where we will spotlight three inspiring elea portfolio ventures. One of the greatest challenges in fighting absolute poverty is equipping young people with the necessary skills to earn a living after their basic education. With over 25% of youth in low- and middle-income countries not in education or employment, the need for innovative solutions is urgent. This is why elea invests in impact ventures that offer market-oriented, practical 21st-century skills training for motivated youth from low-income households, creating pathways out of poverty. 📣 Speakers: Paula Cardenau, Co-Founder and Director of Arbusta (Argentina) Adam Collier, Co-founder & Co-CEO at BluLever Education (South Africa) Zhihan Lee, CEO and Co-Founder at BagoSphere (Philippines) Deborah Keller, Head of Impact for Breakfast  Elena Torresani, Head of Communications and Partnerships at elea 🎫 Spaces are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot online via Impact for Breakfast: https://lnkd.in/eR8RpwDF

🇮🇳India needs 💵$108 billion a year until 2030 for climate action. Private finance involvement is varied across 🍀climate action sectors. It provides an overview of the overall💰investment need across climate mitigation and adaptation sectors. Private finance has a smaller role in adaptation today, but it could provide 📈greater opportunity. Demand and need for adaptation will 🚀increase beyond 2030 as climate change effects increase. The heavy government involvement in adaptation may even evolve over time. Annual mitigation 💸investments need to grow from USD 20bn to USD 75bn and half of mitigation need will be for Infrastructure. While our analysis largely focuses on investment needs until 2030, there are many more sectors that we believe will become significant beyond that. Investing in adaptation will need new structures and approaches with new thinking, both debt and equity can be highly impactful, building adaptation and mitigation beyond near-term investable segments and carbon credits have a role in adaptation. Along with all this India’s investor landscape will evolve as climate sectors grows.
