Climate Impact Conduit
The Climate Impact Conduit is an impact-driven program designed to unlock greater flows of capital to some of the world's best climate solutions. Investors, donors, and corporations can connect with more than 1,600 entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders in 109 countries to make meaningful investments that create returns for people, the planet, and the bottom line.
How it works
This open data online platform includes something for every climate funder, with a mix of companies (60%) and nonprofits (40%) varying across region, size, demographics, and climate verticals.
Companies in the database include a broad spectrum of climate approaches, including high- and low-tech solutions, nature-based methodologies, and social and financial mechanisms. Users can search by criteria to discover high-potential climate tech startups, innovative growth companies, scalable locally-led solutions in the Global South, and everything in between.
