Oliver Wyman’s Post

In 2023, clean energy's growth story was interrupted for the first time in almost a decade with a decrease in Venture Capital (VC) funding.

Our annual Clean Energy Startups Radar found that the Asia Pacific region, hydrogen, and battery storage attracted overall increases in funding, showing a path forward for the sector.

To combat climate change, it’s vital that we also address nature loss. Unfortunately, Africa’s Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII) shows a loss of natural capital that considerably exceeds the global average. Committed to catalyzing nature-positive African economies, we’re proud to support the African Natural Capital Alliance (ANCA) as it works with the public and private sectors on approaches to policy, regulation, and investment that aim to maximize sustainable growth from and for Africa’s natural capital.

In the past year, many banks have uncovered a capability gap. Data may be the fuel for AI, but the promise (and hype) of AI in all its forms has exposed weaknesses in the ability of the data platforms at many banks to support growth in AI.

This Pride Month our colleagues across the world came together to reflect, celebrate, and educate – participating in parades, movie screenings, happy hours, and marches, organizing safe and open dialogue. We kicked off with an inspiring fireside chat featuring the first winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race and the Cameroonian star of the Documentary Being Bebe, Bebe Zahara Benet (Marshall Ngwa), and the film’s director, Emily Branham, facilitated by our Principal Adam Harpool. Although we've reached the end of Pride Month, our commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusion is perennial. In the coming days, weeks, and months, our PROWD chapters around the globe, with the committed support of our Inclusion, Diversity, and Belonging team and LGBTQ+ Advisory Board, will continue to lead the charge on keeping Oliver Wyman a place that prioritizes equity, values inclusion, and fosters a sense of belonging.
