Description
Reimagining Catalytic Capital for Climate Innovation
In an era demanding urgent climate action, this panel explores how catalytic capital—particularly from philanthropy, family offices, and foundations—can be strategically deployed to address critical funding gaps in transformative climate solutions.
Why This Matters Now
As we navigate shifting political and economic landscapes, catalytic capital has never been more essential for climate progress. Through innovative financial engineering and blended finance strategies, we can mobilize mainstream capital flows toward climate solutions with outsized impact potential. This is precisely the moment to amplify—not retreat from—collaborative investment approaches that bridge sectors and funding sources.
