The latest climate technology and sustainability developments as of August 27, 2025, show a mixed but evolving landscape across startups, clean energy, ESG investing, and policy:

Climate Tech Startups and Funding

•U.S. climate tech funding in H1 2025 rose 21% year-over-year, with $21.4 billion invested, making up 51% of global climate tech funding despite overall global investment dropping 19% in the same period[1][5].

•Climate Tech Partners secured over $50 million in funding, including a $30 million anchor investment from Australian Ethical Investments and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, supported by corporate partners like Qantas and Airbus. Their focus is on accelerating Series A climate tech startups in grid, fuels, and adaptation sectors through demand validation and corporate buy-in[2].

•Equatic, a startup developing seawater electrolysis technology for carbon dioxide removal and green hydrogen production, raised $11.6 million in Series A funding led by Catalytic Capital for Climate and Health (Temasek Trust) and Kibo Invest. Equatic aims to scale a 100,000-tonne carbon removal facility, combining carbon capture with clean hydrogen generation[4].

•The Trellis Impact 25 initiative highlights 25 early-stage climate tech startups innovating in energy, carbon, transport, industry, and nature sectors, with an event planned for October 2025 to showcase and select top startups[1].

Clean Energy and Carbon Impact

•Equatic’s technology targets large-scale carbon removal coupled with carbon-neutral hydrogen production, recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Earthshot Prize for its climate impact potential[4].

•Climate Tech Partners’ portfolio focuses on real-world decarbonization solutions validated by corporate demand, aiming to reduce emissions in key sectors like aviation and energy grids[2].

ESG Investing and Market Trends

•Despite a global dip in climate tech investment, non-dilutive funding (e.g., debt financing) is projected to hit an all-time high in 2025, indicating growing confidence in commercially viable climate tech solutions[5].

•The U.S. market remains robust with increasing commercial partnerships between technology providers and buyers, even amid policy uncertainty and reduced federal program funding[5].

Climate Policy and Environmental Innovations

•While specific new policy details for August 2025 are limited in the search results, the U.S. market’s resilience is notable despite the Trump administration’s cuts to key climate tech funding programs, suggesting private and corporate sectors are compensating for some policy gaps[5].

•Numerous funding opportunities continue globally, especially in agriculture, biodiversity, and food systems innovation, supporting climate-tech startups with validated market traction, particularly in Latin America[3].

In summary, August 2025 sees continued growth in U.S. climate tech funding, strategic corporate-backed venture models gaining traction, innovative carbon removal and clean hydrogen technologies advancing, and a maturing investment ecosystem increasingly relying on non-dilutive capital despite global funding headwinds. Policy uncertainty persists but has not yet derailed market momentum. Key funding rounds include Climate Tech Partners’ $50M+ and Equatic’s $11.6M Series A, both targeting significant carbon impact through technology deployment[1][2][4][5].
