The Climate Leadership Programme is a unique community accelerator for climate finance leaders in the US, China, the European Union, and the African Union. The programme provides established professionals at the intersection of climate and finance with an opportunity to supercharge their leadership toolkits and develop networks to lead future climate change mitigation efforts via an effective and equitable financial architecture.
About the Programme
Climate change is one of today's most pressing challenges - if left unaddressed, its damaging effects will jeopardise the viability of future societies everywhere. Developing climate solutions is costly but non-negotiable and will require diverse leaders who can competently manage the financial processes needed to create a more sustainable future.
Considering the growing ecosystem of climate investors in the United States, the European Union and China, it is crucial to ensure that innovation efforts are not developed in silos in order to minimise redundancy and maximise partnership opportunities to advance systemic climate solutions at scale. It is crucial to include African investors in this mix, as the African continent is set to see an increase in climate threats and offers a dazzling web of local green innovation.
The Climate Leadership Programme aims to build a unique network of climate finance professionals across four continents to mobilise resources, share experiences, build solutions, and create practical application guides. The Programme will bring together twenty young venture capitalists and other climate finance professionals from the United States, China, the European Union, and the African Union for a combined programme, including in-depth virtual leadership development in the spring of 2023 and an in-person strategy session in Accra, Ghana, in the summer of 2023.
Participation in the Programme, including travel and accommodation in Accra, Ghana, is covered for the selected participants.
