CPI is the Secretariat for the ClimateShot Investor Coalition (CLIC), an action-oriented group for leaders in the impact investment community working in agriculture and food systems. This member-driven coalition aims to collectively scale-up and accelerate finance for agriculture and food systems globally, with the goal of shifting them to a low-carbon and climate-resilient pathway by 2030. CLIC is funded by the UK FCDO.

The CLIC Agrifood Investment Connector (the Connector) is one of CLICs workstreams which develops a high-quality pipeline of climate and nature-positive agrifood businesses in developing countries. The Connector identifies suitable SMEs and works with them to assess their climate and nature risks and impacts in preparation for investor pitching and due diligence. In parallel, the Connector identifies pools of interested investors and builds a solid understanding of their requirements to facilitate meaningful connections with SMEs.

The Connector seeks expert input to enhance and further develop The Connector’s approach and tools for Impact Assessment, in particular related to nature and biodiversity. These methods and tools will be used by CLIC Secretariat analysts (typically with economics, finance or environmental science background) to perform impact assessment of agribusinesses activities.
