Most climate investment still flows toward mitigation, technologies designed to reduce future emissions. Far less capital is directed toward climate adaptation, despite the fact that many regions are already living with the physical, economic, and social consequences of climate change.This imbalance is especially visible in emerging markets, where climate risk, rapid economic growth, and limited institutional infrastructure collide.In this episode of SRI360, I'm joined by Alina Truhina, Founder and Managing Partner of Radical Fund and Utopia Capital Management. Alina has spent her career building and backing early-stage companies across Southeast Asia and Africa, with a focus on climate adaptation, venture capital, and how businesses actually get built in emerging markets.We discuss why traditional venture capital models often fail in emerging markets, why climate adaptation is harder to measure (but no less urgent) than mitigation, and why supporting founders in these environments requires far more than simply writing a check.Tune in to learn more about:Why climate adaptation remains underfunded compared to mitigationHow measurement and incentives shape where climate capital flowsWhy traditional venture capital models struggle in emerging marketsWhat founders in climate-exposed regions need beyond just fundingHow capital design influences risk, resilience, and long-term outcomesFeatured guest: Alina Truhina, CEO and Managing Partner of The Radical Fund and a Partner at the multi-regional investment platform Utopia Capital Management Listen Next: Conversation with Nick Hurd: How Paying for Outcomes Unlocks Impact Investing ReturnsDiscover More from SRI360°:Explore all episodes of the SRI360° Podcast Sign up for the free weekly email update

Is faith-based investing an all-or-nothing decision, or is there room for balance? In this episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, continues the two-part conversation on faith-based (biblical responsible) investing by exploring the remaining perspectives investors often hold. Building on Part 1, Darryl focuses on investors who are fully committed to biblical responsible investing - as well as those who take a more blended approach. Through real-world examples and conversations, he unpacks how deeply held convictions, market realities, and fiduciary responsibility intersect in portfolio construction. Episode highlights include: The mindset of investors who are "all in" on biblical responsible investing, and why conviction matters. Potential explanations as to why faith-based investing has underperformed the S&P 500 in recent years - and what caused the divergence. How excluding the "Magnificent Seven" impacted performance across many strategies, not just faith-based portfolios. The role of asset managers, shareholder advocacy, and proxy voting in responding to corporate behavior. Why fiduciary duty requires flexibility - especially when certain asset classes aren't yet available in faith-based strategies. How advisors help clients balance convictions with diversification, opportunity, and long-term planning. What it means to be "in the world, but not of the world" when it comes to investing. This episode completes the four-perspective framework introduced in Part 1 and offers a practical, thoughtful approach for investors navigating faith, finances, and long-term responsibility.

What is biblical responsible investing - and why does ownership matter? In this episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, begins a two-part conversation on faith-based (biblical responsible) investing and why it often sparks such strong reactions. Darryl breaks down what biblical responsible investing actually is, how it works within portfolios, and why it goes beyond the idea of "Christian companies." He also addresses common skepticism and explores the deeper question of whether investing is simply a financial decision - or a spiritual one. This episode focuses on two of the four common perspectives on faith-based investing: those who are new to the concept and those who remain unsure or skeptical. Episode highlights include: • What biblical responsible investing is - and what it is not. • How screening, mutual funds, ETFs, and managers are used in faith-based investing. • Why ownership and consumption are not the same - and why that distinction matters. • Real-life examples of how personal convictions shape investment decisions. • The role of shareholder advocacy and proxy voting in aligning money with values. • Why faith-based investing isn't about perfection, pressure, or judgment. In Part 2, Darryl will explore the remaining perspectives - including investors who are fully committed and those who prefer a blended approach.
