WE ARE STILL HERE. But for talks to be productive, they must be INCLUSIVE. The voices of the most vulnerable cannot be ignored. Small Island Developing States and the Least Developed Countries remain committed to securing a #COP29 deal that will not plunge our world into further peril. FULL STATEMENT: https://lnkd.in/dydcPUNG

To kick off our work this year with the exciting team of 2024-25 Accelerators-in-Residence, the Global Climate Finance Accelerator looked for inspiration from Student Energy. Executive Director Helen Watts's blog highlights the massive, largely untapped opportunity for #philanthropy to boldly invest in what are currently “unbankable” youth-led projects due to their perceived risk. Patient capital can unlock the potential to demonstrate market rate returns and thus replicate innovative, system-changing investments that our current capital markets avoid. See links below for Helen's transformative insights and to meet this year's Accelerators-in-Residence! #energytransition #youth #sustainableeconomy #impactinvesting
The Global Climate Finance Accelerator is excited to introduce our 2024-25 Accelerators-in-Residence! These University of Toronto - Rotman School of Management Dobson Climate and Climate Positive Energy Fellowships will unlock #interdisciplinary approaches for the long overdue deployment at scale of technically viable #climatesolutions. The launch of this year’s program was inspired by an urgent message from Helen Watts, Executive Director of Student Energy on the critical need to invest in youth-led projects to drive significant and measurable social and environmental impacts in the #energytransition in a way that larger, more traditional institutions often can’t. This first of a two-part insight unpacks the facts supporting the promising potential of investing in #youth led companies, programs, and initiatives, along with unmet needs and the high stakes of inaction.
