While entrepreneurial innovations are emerging to build climate resilience in vulnerable communities across sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, a critical lack of appropriate capital is holding them back. Acumen and Climate Policy Initiative are bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, and climate leaders during New York Climate Week 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?
Through an engaging session that blends storytelling, discussion, and active participation from attendees, we will:
- Hear directly from entrepreneurs, investors and practitioners on the frontlines about what resilience means in practice
- Unpack the barriers that keep capital from flowing to high-impact solutions
- Explore innovative, investable financial vehicles designed to unlock climate adaptation and resilience finance at scale
