On Where Sustainable Capital Is Flowing
This episode of Sustainability in Conversation dives into the results of Pitchbook’s 2026 Sustainable Investment Survey. The report’s co-authors Hilary Wiek, Principal Analyst, Fund Strategies and Anikka Villegas, Senior Analyst, Fund Strategies and Sustainable Investing share insights from the survey and discuss the persistence of sustainable investing among private market investors, despite headlines to the contrary. They also explore emerging opportunities in infrastructure, energy transition, and water as well as how investors are navigating the opportunities and challenges presented by artificial intelligence. In the long run, they see successful strategies as those that connect sustainability themes directly to risk management, resilience and investment opportunities, while also responding to evolving geopolitical and technological realities.
