What is The Atmospheric Fund?
The Atmospheric Fund (TAF) is a regional climate agency that invests in urban solutions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution within the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). TAF's investment philosophy integrates a mission-aligned impact approach, recognizing the role of asset investment as a substantial lever in fostering a low-carbon economy.
The fund is a pioneer in the space of impact investing, strategically deploying its endowment fund to finance various carbon-reducing projects and initiatives. TAF's work is multifaceted, including providing grants to organizations seeking climate solutions, researching and testing innovative programs, and influencing government policies to accelerate the adoption of greener practices.
TAF is actively involved in efforts to reduce building-related carbon emissions, exemplified by their advocacy for the Building Emissions Performance Standards (BEPS) in Toronto. They also invest in ventures like PaceZero Capital Partners to propel the low-carbon economy forward.
Recognizing the importance of electric vehicles (EVs) in the transition to a greener future, TAF is working to expand the EV charging infrastructure across the GTHA and has conducted surveys to understand and meet the high demand for EV charging. The organization emphasizes data and knowledge sharing, evident through their publications on carbon emissions inventory and carbon quantification methodologies, and prefaces deep retrofits technology reviews.
TAF's commitment to enabling diverse public participation in climate action underscores their inclusive approach to addressing climate change. Located at the Metro Hall in Toronto, TAF remains financed by endowments from the City of Toronto, Province of Ontario, and the Government of Canada, and maintains a crucial role as part of the Low Carbon Cities Canada network. The fund's expert leadership and collaboration with like-minded partners are central to its goal of helping the GTHA reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
