In this interview, Ben Broche of the Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance talks to AECC about climate finance and the work of "the Lab" in trying to act as a market launch pad and accelerator into the marketplace for the best climate-finance ideas. He describes the three pillars which define the criteria they use to pick "winners" and then how they are supported. He also describes some of the past winners and the models they are implementing.
If you have a climate-finance related idea, there is still time - submit by Dec 22 2021 in order to have a chance to be supported by "the Lab". Follow the link here https://www.climatefinancelab.org/call-for-ideas/ to submit your idea and proposals!
