BTG Pactual and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) are committing up to $1 billion to sustainability and development projects in Latin America, marking one of the region’s largest private-sector pushes toward climate-focused investment. The partnership will deploy capital through co-financing, equity, and private equity funds by 2028, targeting conservation, infrastructure, and the bioeconomy in countries that are home to critical ecosystems like the Amazon.
The initiative underscores how private institutions are stepping up to drive climate action alongside economic development. IFC regional VP Alfonso Garcia Mora highlighted the private sector’s role in “advancing the climate agenda and driving transformative initiatives that improve lives and foster economic growth,” while BTG Pactual CEO Roberto Sallouti emphasized the importance of disciplined allocation. For a region often at the center of global environmental discussions, the announcement represents a concrete step toward sustainable growth backed by serious financial resources.
