🌍 Climate action needs innovative solutions. In 2023, investments in climate initiatives hit $18.3 billion—a 120% surge—driven by private sector contributions and impactful projects in renewable energy, nature-based solutions, and adaptation finance. But there’s still work to do. Adaptation finance, essential for building resilience, continues to lag behind. How can we bridge this gap and scale up climate investments? 📖 Learn more about these trends and opportunities in the State of Blended Finance 2024: Climate Edition.

Blended finance combines public and private funding to make investments in agriculture possible. It helps farmers and agri-businesses access the resources they need—whether it’s financing for modern equipment, climate-smart practices, or better infrastructure. Why is this important? Agriculture feeds the world, but many small-scale farmers lack the funds to grow their businesses or adapt to challenges like climate change. Blended finance bridges this gap, ensuring more sustainable food systems and resilient communities.🌍💡 As the world approaches critical 2030 climate and sustainability targets, the need for blended finance to fill financing gaps becomes even more pressing. Greater collaboration between the public and private sectors and clearer frameworks to de-risk investment in climate-vulnerable regions are urgently needed. Learn how this innovative approach is transforming agriculture in this report.

🌍 Learn more about combining public and private funding to adapt to climate change 🌍 Tomorrow, 7 November, don’t miss this insightful webinar hosted by the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change. This event will delve into innovative strategies for bridging the gap between public and private funding in climate adaptation finance — a topic central to our work in the CLIMATEFIT project. 💡 Registrations are still open! 🌍💼🌱 #CLIMATEFIT #ClimateFinance #EUMissions #HorizonEU #MissionClimateAdaptation

🔎 Climate Funding Resource: White House Releases “Climate Capital Guidebook” A little over a month ago The White House released (https://lnkd.in/gfHZwgMH) the Climate Capital Guidebook, a free, one-stop-resource for information on federal funding programs – such as grants, loans, tax credits, and equity investments – that are available to climate-related start-ups, small- and medium-sized businesses, and their investors. The Guidebook includes opportunities across the federal government, representing hundreds of billions of dollars in grants, loans, loan guarantees, and other funding tools to spur the financing and deployment of new clean energy and climate projects.
