History
[edit | edit source]Generation was founded in April 2004 by a group of seven founding partners led by Al Gore and David Blood.[8] Its goal was integrating the disciplines of finance and sustainability.
In 2021 Generation launched Just Climate, a climate-led investment business aiming to address the net-zero challenge at scale.[9] It closed its inaugural Climate Assets Fund I in 2023, raising $1.5 billion.[10]
