The fund is co-headed by Mark Carney and Connor Teskey, and focuses on investments to accelerate the global transition to a net-zero economy. Carney is also a United Nations special envoy on climate action and finance.
The fund is the successor of the inaugural Brookfield Global Transition Fund (BGTF I), which closed on a record $15 billion.
