The company’s 360 Life II fund will focus on investments in areas such as renewable energy, hydrogen and reducing pollution and waste.

Why it’s important

The fund-raising comes as countries around the world face up to the impact of climate change and global warming.

Data from European Union scientists this month showed that 2024 will be the hottest year since records began, while an agreement at November’s COP29 summit to set aside $300 billion annually by 2035 to finance tackling climate change has been criticised by some for being insufficient.
