Amber Horizons Insights
From renewable energy projects to transportation infrastructure and sustainable development initiatives, stay ahead of the curve with our insightful content.
Climate change
Climate change significantly influences infrastructure stability, making it essential for investment considerations. Extreme weather events and environmental shifts pose threats, requiring investments in resilient technologies. Neglecting these challenges jeopardises infrastructure, economic stability, and public well-being. Integrating climate considerations into investment decision making is crucial for robust long term returns.
Renewable energy
Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power offer clean, sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels, reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change. Scaling up renewable energy deployment requires investment in infrastructure, technology innovation, and supportive policies such as renewable energy targets, feed-in tariffs, and carbon pricing mechanisms.
Circular economy
The circular economy has the potential to minimise waste and maximise resource efficiency in infrastructure investment. Unlike the linear economy, it keeps products and materials in use through recycling, reusing, and remanufacturing. By closing the resource loop, it not only reduces environmental impact and conserves natural resources, but it also has the potential to create new business opportunities.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity plays a critical role in supporting the resilience and functionality of infrastructure systems. Infrastructure projects often intersect with natural habitats, ecosystems, and biodiversity hotspots, making their protection and preservation vital. Incorporating biodiversity considerations into infrastructure planning and development helps mitigate environmental impacts, maintain ecosystem services, and enhance project sustainability.
Supporting net zero solutions
The road to net zero is complex. Whilst some technologies and financing solutions are clear, significant work is required to develop suitable financing and to de-risk frontier technologies that will be required over the coming years.
Amber is committed to developing innovative financing solutions, supporting its investments to innovate and to invest its own capital in projects it believes in.
