Craig Douglas

Founding Partner, World Fund

About

Craig Douglas is a founding partner at World Fund who also advises the European Commission on energy policy, and he requires every investment to have the potential to remove 100 megatons of CO₂ per year regardless of the specific technology. He advocates for borrowing against future EU Emissions Trading System revenues to fund cleantech today and argues that Europe's climate-tech challenge is primarily about commercialization and scaling rather than innovation, pushing for regulatory changes to help institutional investors deploy more capital into Series B and beyond rounds.
