The Lab’s 2027 Call for Ideas opens September 21, seeking innovative financial vehicles designed to mobilize private investment for climate action in emerging markets. Preliminary applications are due October 16.

The Lab is hosting four informational webinars in English, Portuguese, and Spanish to help prospective applicants understand what we’re looking for and determine whether their idea is a good fit.

The sessions will cover eligibility, the application and selection process, priority areas for the 2027 cycle, the benefits of Lab support, and what to expect from the Lab process.

We’ll also share examples from previous cycles and answer questions during a live Q&A.
