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 to accelerate and scale finance for low-carbon, climate-resilient and nature-positive agriculture and food systems globally. To achieve its misssion, CLIC is focused on three key outcomes:
- Greater consensus on the priorities for climate and nature finance
- Greater application of science and innovation in impact investment decision-making
- Increased finance mobilized for the sector globally
The Connector
The CLIC Agrifood Investment “Connector” develops a high-quality pipeline of climate- and nature-positive agribusinesses 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.
Action Groups
- The financial innovation action group supports and amplifies members’ efforts to develop innovative science-backed finance vehicles that are climate and nature-positive.
- The tools, methods, and knowledge co-creation action group enables the impact investing community to step up risk assessment and impact measurement in agriculture and food system interventions via effective utilization of tools and methodologies for data collection.
