🎙️ Untangling Climate Finance: Jimena Caballero Steps Out From Behind the Scenes at Gordian Knot Strategies

Listen to this episode on any of the streaming platforms below.

“There is no one solution to the very, very complex problem that is global climate change. We should be pushing at every level, especially the local level. We need to build community, divest from fossil fuels, and advocate for the changes we want to see.”

Jimena Caballero — Senior Associate, Gordian Knot Strategies

This month on Untangling Climate Finance, we invite one of our very own to the show to spotlight her amazing, invaluable work!

In this episode, Jay sits down with Jimena Caballero, Senior Associate at Gordian Knot Strategies, to talk through the tools, client work, and reporting that keep GKS honest.

Jay and Jimena discuss:

✅ How TRARO, GKS’s seven-element climate impact screening tool, helps project developers and financiers improve their projects and investments

✅ Her work supporting a longtime GKS client, City Forest Credits, as well as other past clients

✅ What led GKS to publish its first-ever sustainability report this year, and what it means to hold ourselves to the same standard we hold our clients to

✅ Why she decided to look abroad for grad school, and how she ended up in Kiel, Germany

✅ How she keeps herself from burning out on a steady diet of hard climate news, and why she believes real progress starts local

Jimena has been a vital part of the GKS team for nearly 3 years, helping build the tools and doing the work behind almost everything GKS does. This month, she walks us through it!

We are Igniting Climate Solutions: Mobilizing $1 Billion Per Year in Impact Investment by 2030!

For the second year running, Gordian Knot Strategies has been named a finalist for the Responsible Business Leadership Award as part of the RestorLife Awards, presented by Restor and the G20 Global Land Initiative!

The award recognizes businesses that have moved sustainability commitments into practice, with proven, scalable impact on nature. Being named among this year’s finalists reflects the consistency of our work across climate finance, impact investing, natural capital, and carbon markets, and reaffirms our commitment to the integrity standards this sector needs.

We’re proud to stand alongside this year’s cohort of finalists! You can read the full finalist announcement here.

At Gordian Knot Strategies, our goal is to help mobilize $1 billion per year in climate finance. That is why we’re committed to making climate finance smarter and faster by addressing a broken impact investing screening process.

That’s why we built TRARO®, a predictive analytics platform designed to help investors rapidly triage opportunities with clarity, consistency, and confidence.

Have a climate project? Submit it to TRARO® for a free screening and based on assessment outcomes, we can match you with interested impact investors. You can also explore real-world case studies to see how TRARO® supports smarter investment decisions. You can find more information and how to create an account on TRARO® here.

Are you an impact investor or funder? Get in touch with the TRARO® team at traro@gordianknotstrategies.com to access scorecards from high scoring projects, or run targeted RFPs through TRARO® to streamline your process, save time, and reduce review costs.

We’re building a global database of impact investors to help mobilize $1 billion annually in climate finance by 2030.
