Climate capital deployment is at an all-time high, yet the tools to measure whether that capital is delivering real impact are still catching up. On Earth Day morning, during DC Climate Week, Foley Hoag is proud to host a candid conversation on one of the most pressing questions in climate finance: how do we know if our investments are actually working?
Presented by Investors for Climate DC, this panel brings together leading practitioners in impact measurement, catalytic capital, and climate finance. Speakers include Jenny Zhang, Assistant Director of Impact at Prime Coalition; Javier Monterroso, Sr. Director of Impact Investments at CapShift; and Sean Gilbert, Chief Investor Network Officer at the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN).
The discussion will address what "impact" means across different types of capital, how investors assess the climate potential of early-stage technologies before results materialize, whether the industry is converging on shared measurement standards, and whether impact data is genuinely informing capital allocation or remaining a reporting exercise.
