📄 Abstract（原文）
Martin Berg outlines his career in environmental finance, explaining the evolution of financing models for carbon projects. He began work in carbon finance as the Kyoto Protocol’s emissions trading mechanisms were introduced, first at RNK Capital, later at Merrill Lynch and the European Investment Bank, before leading Climate Asset Management. Early experiences highlighted the difficulty for small funds to compete on large offtake agreements, pushing innovation in prepayment structures. By investing capital upfront with project developers in exchange for a share of future credits, Berg’s teams could mitigate carbon price risk and support project development despite illiquid or unhedgable markets. These models were first applied to landfill methane capture projects in Latin America, with the resulting credits sold for compliance with the Clean Development Mechanism. As information in carbon markets improved, risk management became more sophisticated and portfolio approaches allowed greater precision in deal pricing and delivery forecasting. Berg asserts that, in today’s voluntary carbon markets, prepayment and carefully structured finance remain essential to bridge the gap between project needs, price volatility and the demand for high-quality offsets among corporate clients.
