WE ARE A PLATFORM
TO MAKE CLIMATE FINANCE

MORE ACCESSIBLE

India faces a 70% gap in mobilising USD 1.1 trillion by 2030 to meet its adaptation and mitigation needs.
‍

We need new financing structures and approaches to make capital accessible for developing, commercialising and scaling climate innovations.

There is no one route to address climate finance. Multiple collaborative approaches need to be adopted: from researching how climate finance should evolve, piloting capital approaches for their viability today and the future; and bringing ecosystems that steward and scale the adoption of finance for climate transitions.

We exist because existing ecosystem approaches in India are not enough to bridge the climate finance gap.
