Climate Capital Challenge

1.Imagine you are the managing partner of Climate Capital Unlimited, a hypothetical venture firm whose mission is to solve climate change while maximizing return on investment, with $10 billion in funds available. Every government in the world has passed a carbon tax (meaning no hidden externalities), your investors have a long-term time horizon, and interest rates will remain low for the next 20 years. 

Where do you deploy your $10,000,000,000 in capital (on a % basis)? You can put all your funds in just 1 or 2 categories, or you can spread it out evenly, but your goal is to invest in a way to maximize return over the next two decades.
