Climate finance entrepreneurs from all over the world can apply for the Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance. The Lab is looking for innovative finance solutions that can unlock investment to tackle some of the most difficult climate and sustainable development challenges and investment opportunities for a post-COVID, green economic recovery.
This project aims to crowd-source and identify innovative ideas for concept development. The call for ideas can include both a general stream and more specialized streams to allow the Lab to direct expertise and resources towards issues identified as being critical by Lab members. In the 2020/2021 cycle, in addition to a general call for ideas that address barriers to sustainable investment in developing countries across the mitigation and adaptation spectrum, the Lab has a special call for ideas that target sustainable energy access and sustainable cities. Although ideas across all developing countries are welcome, this year the Lab also has a special slot for those that target Brazil and Southern Africa.
The deadline for submissions this year is December 22, 2020. Submissions received after the official deadline or those that are incomplete are not considered.
