Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time, presenting both environmental risks and economic opportunities. Climate Entrepreneurs are crucial in developing innovative solutions to mitigate and adapt to climate change. However, accessing funding and investment remains a significant hurdle for many climate-focused startups and businesses. Climate Entrepreneurs face unique challenges in accessing investment capital due to climate-related ventures’ perceived risks and uncertainties. Moreover, traditional investment frameworks may not fully capture the long-term value and impact of climate solutions. Therefore, there is a pressing need to support Climate Entrepreneurs in building their investment readiness, enabling them to articulate their value proposition, assess risks, and demonstrate their potential for financial returns and positive environmental impact.

This session will explore strategies to enhance the investment readiness of Climate Entrepreneurs, equipping them with the tools and resources necessary to attract and secure funding for their ventures.

Objectives

• To identify the key challenges faced by Climate Entrepreneurs in accessing investment capital.
• To explore strategies and best practices for enhancing the investment readiness of Climate Entrepreneurs.
• To provide practical tools and resources to help Climate Entrepreneurs prepare for investor engagement and due diligence.
• To foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among Climate Entrepreneurs, investors, and support organizations to catalyze investment in climate solutions.
