00:00:03.810 --> 00:00:06.780
Climate Investments is a billion-dollar investment fund

2
00:00:07.970 --> 00:00:11.020
with a unique goal to reduce emissions.

3
00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:13.310
We are backed by some of the world's largest

4
00:00:13.310 --> 00:00:15.200
oil and gas producers,

5
00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:17.540
and this gives us a unique platform

6
00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:20.350
because we not only deliver capital,

7
00:00:20.350 --> 00:00:25.010
but we are also able to pilot and deploy these technologies,

8
00:00:25.010 --> 00:00:28.310
and therefore scale them worldwide.

9
00:00:28.310 --> 00:00:31.070
Solving the climate challenge is by necessity

10
00:00:31.070 --> 00:00:33.520
a collaborative exercise.

11
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.080
This challenge is much too large for any one country

12
00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:39.070
or any one company.

13
00:00:39.070 --> 00:00:41.070
We have to work together.

14
00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:44.740
And so coalitions like the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative

15
00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:47.573
are critical to drive the industries forward.

16
00:00:49.550 --> 00:00:52.640
The climate challenge is a systemic problem,

17
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.370
and it arises from all our human activities-

18
00:00:56.370 --> 00:00:58.450
from the food we eat to the clothes we wear,

19
00:00:58.450 --> 00:01:01.630
how we travel, and how we heat our homes.

20
00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:04.730
So we need to look across the entire system,

21
00:01:04.730 --> 00:01:07.590
and that is why collaboration is so key.

22
00:01:07.590 --> 00:01:10.550
The success of our fund is measured by its carbon impact-

23
00:01:10.550 --> 00:01:13.710
so reduction of carbon from our investments

24
00:01:13.710 --> 00:01:15.560
and our activities.

25
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.670
Now, that might sound simple to you,

26
00:01:17.670 --> 00:01:19.940
but it's actually a new art,

27
00:01:19.940 --> 00:01:22.540
and there are no standards in the industry.

28
00:01:22.540 --> 00:01:24.990
So again, we're collaborating.

29
00:01:24.990 --> 00:01:27.670
We're working with a whole bunch of other funds

30
00:01:27.670 --> 00:01:31.520
to develop methodologies that we can all adopt

31
00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:35.300
so we have common terminologies and common success.

32
00:01:35.300 --> 00:01:37.800
We've been working with BCG since the inception

33
00:01:37.800 --> 00:01:39.280
of this fund.

34
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.210
They help us with our strategies,

35
00:01:42.210 --> 00:01:44.410
and they help us understand how we can deliver

36
00:01:44.410 --> 00:01:45.960
those strategies to the market.

37
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:49.460
What's been really unique about this partnership

38
00:01:49.460 --> 00:01:52.480
is the unflinching honesty

39
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:54.600
and the collaborative spirit

40
00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:56.660
that this team has brought to us.

41
00:01:56.660 --> 00:01:58.890
And that is what we need to do together

42
00:01:58.890 --> 00:02:00.037
to drive change.
