ClimateShot Investor Coalition (CLIC)
CPI is the Secretariat for the ClimateShot Investor Coalition (CLIC), a global coalition driving investment in sustainable agriculture and food systems.
CLIC works with 45 members globally to support agrifood systems in the climate transition, bridging specialized international organizations and regional experts with deep market knowledge to accelerate action in EMDEs.
The coalition works through three pillars: insights on climate finance trends in agrifood systems, investment in sustainable agribusinesses through technical assistance, and innovation in financial solutions to maximize investment impact.
CLIC is funded by UK International Development of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
