Global Investors Are Pouring More Money into Climate Tech

Clean energy companies, EV makers and other green firms attracted $56 billion in the first nine months of 2025 — more than in all of 2024.

Global investment in green technology for the first three quarters of the year has already surpassed all of 2024. The fortunes of the sector have been in decline for three years, but explosive energy demand fueled by data centers has sparked a reversal.

Private and public investors worldwide channeled as much as $56 billion into green businesses ranging from clean energy to storage and electric vehicles during the nine months ending in September, according to a new BloombergNEF report. By contrast, the climate tech industry snagged less than $51 billion in 2024.
