Scaling Climate Finance: Lessons from the Lab

Founded in 2014, the Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance (“the Lab”) has incubated 49 innovative climate finance instruments that, collectively, have mobilized over USD $2.2 billion, including $800 million from the private sector.

Although the Lab has succeeded in nurturing early-stage ideas, as the timeline for addressing climate change becomes shorter and shorter, shifting focus from innovation to scale becomes increasingly important. The Lab is starting to see some of its earlier-launched instruments scale up – mobilizing increasing amounts of investment – so we conducted an analysis of Lab instruments, interviewed experts and reviewed third-party literature to better understand what factors facilitate scaling up.

Join us for an interactive panel discussion where we review these findings and discuss how public and private investors, entrepreneurs, and policy-making institutions can better support the scaling up of climate finance instruments.
