Dublin, Dec. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Carbon-Smart Investment Portfolio Global Market Report 2025" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The carbon-smart investment portfolio market is witnessing significant expansion, projected to rise from $28.18 billion in 2024 to $33.35 billion by 2025, with a robust CAGR of 18.4%. This growth is propelled by heightened focus on climate-related financial risks, the surge in green bond issuance, and the enhanced performance of renewable energy assets. Contributing factors include the expanding use of climate stress testing and the increasing availability of carbon-offset projects.
Looking ahead, the market is set to escalate to $64.67 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 18%. Driving this momentum are factors such as the escalating demand for sustainable investments, rising awareness of climate change repercussions, government incentives favoring low-carbon projects, and a growing interest in net-zero aligned portfolios. Increased transparency in carbon reporting and the integration of blockchain technology are significant trends alongside advancements in carbon accounting, offset verification, and climate risk models.
The surge in green building certifications is a pivotal growth driver for carbon-smart investment portfolios. As governments, businesses, and occupiers aim for energy-efficient and sustainable construction, the role of such portfolios becomes increasingly crucial. They provide capital for projects meeting sustainability standards, incentivize energy-efficient practices, and support certified green developments. Notably, in July 2024, the U.S. Green Building Council reported over 46,000 residential projects certified under the LEED rating system, exemplifying this upward trajectory.
Key market players are developing innovative strategies to enhance carbon sequestration and biodiversity, attracting environmentally conscious investors. For instance, the Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec partnered with Clean Energy Finance Corporation to launch Meldora, a $165 million sustainable agriculture platform promoting climate-smart farming and renewable energy, resulting in high-quality Australian carbon credits.
Similarly, in April 2025, Meta Platforms Inc. collaborated with EFM Investments & Advisory LLC to foster climate-smart forestry in Washington State. The alliance aims to generate 676,000 forest carbon credits by 2035, transitioning 68,000 acres to management practices that enhance carbon storage and biodiversity, aligning with Meta's goal to attain net-zero emissions by 2030.
Prominent players shaping the carbon-smart investment landscape include Allianz Global Investors GmbH, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., Legal & General Investment Management Ltd., UBS Asset Management AG, and Fidelity Investments, among others.
