The defining physical risk of the coming decades needs its own fund. This is it.
We are building a portfolio of companies with technology innovations that help industry & society deal with Hydroclimatic Risk*
What is Hydroclimatic Risk?
Hydroclimatic risk is what happens when climate change makes water behave in increasingly destructive and unpredictable ways — too much water overwhelming cities, coastlines, and supply chains; too little water starving agriculture, energy systems, and economies; or water so degraded it can no longer support the ecosystems and industries that depend on it. As the climate warms, these extremes are becoming more frequent, more severe, and more expensive.
This has less to do with your water bill, your utility provider, or the pipes under your street. It is an economy-wide problem — and an economy-wide investment opportunity.
We back founders who understand
the role of technology in Climate Adaptation
What is the
Industry 4.0 toolbox?
As the saying goes "You can't manage what you don't measure'" which in the context of Climate Adaptation points directly to the Industry 4.0 toolbox.
From satellites to in-situ monitoring, AI to digital twins, the most fundamental need over the next decade is to leverage Industry 4.0 solutions to improve our collective ability to prepare-for, adjust-to, and ultimately deal-with hydroclimatic risk in our new climate reality. ​

Hydroclimatic risk sits at the heart of SDG 13 — the United Nations' call to take urgent action on climate change. Its targets demand stronger resilience to climate-related disasters, integration of climate measures into national policy, and urgent capacity building across economies. Every target is a direct response to hydroclimatic disruption.
Economic losses from climate-related disasters have already increased sevenfold since the 1970s. Mazarine Climate backs the companies making hydroclimatic resilience commercially scalable — because policy alone won't get us there.​
* There is much overlap with SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation), as many climate-change-induced water quality risks are effectively public health & safety risks.
