These are the latest findings from the Robeco Global Climate Investing Survey 2025. Our fifth annual survey shows that enthusiasm for climate investment continues to vary by region. Europe has reclaimed its leadership from Asia-Pacific, which topped last year’s survey, while interest in the US has dropped to new lows.

Rebalancing approaches

“One of the most notable findings from this year’s survey is the disillusionment of investors with the lack of supportive policies enabling investments in the net zero transition,” says Lucian Peppelenbos, Climate and Biodiversity Strategist at Robeco.

“Investors are now rebalancing their approach by seeking opportunities outside the US in areas such as transitioning companies and renewable energy, and in focusing more on solutions that are adapting to climate change.”
