Investors warm to climate adaptation and resilience – and look for ways to measure the impact
Prime Coalition’s Chief Growth Officer Keri Browder shares Prime’s strategies and programs lean into growing interest in climate solutions beyond mitigation
“Climate change mitigation, while still a crucial North Star, cannot be the sole strategy for climate action,” writes Chief Growth Officer Keri Browder at Prime Coalition in a September 2025 op-ed for Impact Alpha.
In the op-ed, Browder shares more from her perspective on investors’ growing interest in solutions beyond climate mitigation. Before stepping into her role as Prime’s Chief Growth Officer, Browder served as Director of Prime’s Project Frame, a program dedicated to convening a global community of investors dedicated to transparent climate Imapct Measurement & Management (IMM),
She shares that responses from Frame’s 2025 Annual Survey indicated that investors are increasingly interested in supporting Adaptation & Resilience (A&R) solutions as the consequence of the climate crisis become more frequent. To answer that call, Frame’s first Asia-based Case Studies Working Group, which published Frame’s first two case studies that assessed solutions with a broader lens, including analyses for co-benefits and risks of harm.
Browder also highlights how Prime’s approach to climate centers human thriving, writing: “By evaluating solutions against the key elements of human thriving that climate change could most directly harm—adequate housing, economic inclusion, energy access, food security, health and safety, healthy ecosystem, and water security—we feel more properly equipped to understand the full impact of early-stage climate solutions and how they may support the well-being of the planet and its people.”
This, she writes, complements the increase in inbound requests to Prime to upskill philanthropists and market-rate investors alike on sourcing and scaling A&R solutions.
