Financial Innovation Knowledge Platform

CPI’s Financial Innovation Knowledge Platform guides public and private actors working on climate finance. It leverages over a decade of lessons learned from supporting 100+ financial vehicles through CPI’s programs, including the Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance and the Catalytic Climate Finance Facility, and translates them into practical tools, research, and guidance for those developing and investing in climate finance vehicles.  

The Knowledge Platform also convenes a global network of ecosystem actors, particularly local actors in the Global South, including financial institutions, investors, project developers, entrepreneurs, and corporates, to demystify opportunities and barriers around mobilizing capital in specific sectors and regions.
