2025 was a Busy Year at Climate Investment Partners

To close the year, we published our first Annual Impact Report, which brings together key project milestones, certifications, partnerships, and insights from across our global portfolio. The report offers a consolidated view of our work in 2025 and sets the context for our priorities moving into 2026.
