Transition Accelerator Ltd

TRANSITION ACCELERATOR LTD is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to accelerating the transition to a sustainable future by expanding profitable investment opportunities in climate solutions. It works by providing catalytic capital—patient, risk-tolerant, and flexible funding—to support projects that would otherwise struggle to attract commercial investment. This approach helps unlock larger pools of capital to address urgent climate challenges, including biodiversity, nature conservation, and First Nations engagement.

Flagship Project: Catalytic Capital for Climate Solutions

The main project of TRANSITION ACCELERATOR LTD is the provision of catalytic capital to climate initiatives. This involves offering philanthropic grants, concessional debt, first-loss capital, and concessional equity underwriting to overcome investment barriers. By doing so, it enables the mobilisation of commercial funding for projects that reduce carbon emissions, enhance biodiversity, and support sustainable development, thereby accelerating the shift to a low-carbon economy.
