About This Fund
Climate Investor Two (CI2) is a blended‐finance facility designed to mobilise both public and private capital into climate adaptation infrastructure across emerging markets. Established in 2019 and managed by Climate Fund Managers, the fund targets infrastructure in water services, sanitation, waste management and ocean sectors in Africa, Asia and Latin America. With a final close at USD 1.065 billion, CI2 is positioned as the largest climate‑adaptation infrastructure fund focused on emerging markets globally. CI2 uses a “whole‑of‑life” financing strategy, spanning from early‑stage project development through construction and operations. It comprises distinct components (e.g., a Development Fund for early‑stage risk, a Construction Equity Fund for build‑out) to support project developers in geographies typically underserved by private capital. The fund aims to deliver measurable social and environmental impact at scale, directing investment into hard‑to‑reach markets and addressing the substantial climate‑adaptation gap in developing countries. According to the fund’s disclosures, CI2 by end of life aims to serve 16.5 million beneficiaries with safe drinking water/improved sanitation and protect or restore 2.2 million hectares of ecosystems. Its investor base is diverse, including development finance institutions, multilateral banks, public sector banks and institutional investors (asset managers, pension funds, insurers). The fund also pioneered a “Bridge‑to‑Bond” mechanism, enabling bond investors to access the underlying asset base via a structure led by CFM and strategic partner Sanlam Alternative Investments, under an EU guarantee.
