“This downturn suggests investors may be prioritizing short-term returns over long-term impact, even in a sector deemed critical by policymakers and scientists.”

If the trend persists, it may slow innovation in climate solutions just as regulatory pressure increases. Watch for whether government incentives or corporate sustainability commitments reverse the flow of funding.
