Edelman is providing strategic communications services and handling events for Alterra Management Ltd, the $30B climate-focused investment fund launched by the United Arab Emirates.
Alterra ironed out $6.5B in deals late last year with BlackRock, TPG Inc. and Brookfield Asset Management.
It teamed with BAM in June for the $5B Catalytic Transition Fund to invest in clean energy and transitional technologies in developing countries.
Edelman’s one-year contract has a monthly retainer of $45K.
It calls for providing senior counsel to Alterrak’s CEO and top management team.
The firm is to station a staffer in Alterra’s Abu Dhabi office five days per week. The staffer must have strong English copywriting skills and an understanding of the investment industry. A bilingual person is preferred, and knowledge of sustainability practices is a plus.
