From 2014 to 2025, the Lab incubated 87 climate finance instruments designed to address barriers to investment in sectors such as renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, nature-based solutions, and climate resilience. Together, these solutions have mobilized USD 4.4 billion in climate investment, with USD 1.83 billion from private investors.
The report explores how the Lab’s investor-led model transforms early-stage ideas into investment-ready financial vehicles. Through a structured incubation process, collaboration with over 100 member institutions, and a global network of experts, the Lab helps design scalable financial solutions that can unlock capital where it is most needed.
