From Urgency to Action: Scaling Climate Finance for Resilience
Thursday, September 25; 12:00 – 15:00
Global poverty reduction has stalled, and climate change threatens to push an additional 130 million people into poverty across developing economies. While entrepreneurial innovations are emerging to build resilience in vulnerable communities across sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, a critical lack of appropriate capital is holding them back. This event, co-hosted by Acumen and Climate Policy Initiative, brings together entrepreneurs, investors, and climate leaders to tackle one of the most urgent questions of our time: How can we mobilize capital at scale to support climate resilience and adaptation in the world’s most vulnerable regions?
