Scaling Climate Finance for Nature: What Works in Practice

This roundtable will bring together a small group of investors, government funders, DFIs and MDBs, philanthropies, climate finance practitioners, and ecosystem partners to explore what is needed to mobilize private capital for nature-based solutions (NbS).
The discussion will focus on:
  • Challenges in developing and scaling climate finance vehicles for nature, particularly in emerging markets.
  • What has worked in practice, including the role of catalytic capital, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance in mobilizing private investment.
  • Lessons from financial innovation initiatives, including CPI’s Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance and the Catalytic Climate Finance Facility.
  • The role of public policy and innovative public finance mechanisms, including experiences such as Eco Invest Brasil, in creating the conditions for private capital to flow toward climate and nature investments.

Business Case for Climate Adaptation: From Strategy to Investment

The Executive Roundtable will explore three overarching questions: 1. From materiality to strategy How can climate adaptation become a strategic priority for corporate leadership, governance and capital allocation? 2. From strategy to investment What prevents adaptation strategies from becoming investable projects, and how can finance, insurance and governance help bridge this gap? 3. From investment to scale How can companies, investors and governments work together to scale adaptation across value chains and territories?

Webinar to Launch the Call for Proposals on Communication for Climate Action in Brazil

Over the past few years, iCS and its ecosystem of supported organizations have been producing technical knowledge, evidence, proposals, and strategic narratives on priority topics to accelerate the climate transition and promote a more resilient, inclusive, and competitive development model. At the same time, recent research demonstrates that, although Brazilian society recognizes the seriousness of climate change, this recognition still translates only in limited ways into
engagement and action. Overcoming this challenge requires new forms of communication capable of broadening the reach, understanding, and appropriation of this knowledge by different audiences. It is within this context that the Communication for Climate Action in Brazil call for proposals is situated, part of the implementation of the “Communication and Mobilization” Action Front of the Work Plan of the Engagement, Agents of Change and Climate Governance Axis of the Institute for Climate and Society (iCS). Its objective is not to support the production of new narratives, studies or independent institutional campaigns, but to
select organizations capable of developing, testing and implementing innovative solutions for communication, content distribution and social engagement, enhancing the dissemination of knowledge, evidence and strategic narratives already produced by the ecosystem. The webinar will therefore seek to explain the criteria and processes involved in submitting proposals for this call for proposals, in order to clarify any doubts.
