Bankable by Design, Continuous, and Predictive Climate Adaptation Investments with Co-Benefits

Project description

Making climate adaptation bankable

Bankable solutions create financially viable projects that promote resilient and sustainable landscapes and economies, resulting in significant positive impacts for both nature and people. The EU-funded CLIMINVEST project will enhance the bankability of climate adaptation initiatives by developing tools and techniques that empower stakeholders to design bankable-by-design (BbD) projects with a positive return on investment. The project will also help private investors evaluate these initiatives for inclusion in their portfolios and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies. By using the BbD framework, local and regional governments, along with climate adaptation operators, will benefit from resources for creating integrated solutions that align with broader climate mitigation efforts.

Objective

CLIMINVEST is joint effort of sustainability experts and finance/investing experts to improve the bankability of climate adaptation solutions. In this direction, the project will develop, integrate and validate tools and techniques that will empower climate adaptation stakeholders to develop “bankable-by-design” (BbD) projects with a positive ROI, including projects that are continually assessed in order to proactively identify and remedy issues that can affect their bankability. Moreover, CLIMINVEST will facilitate private investors to assess them, and to include them in their portfolios and ESG strategies.
Based on the project’s BbD framework, local/regional governments and operators of climate-adaptation solutions will greatly benefit from CLIMINVEST techniques and blueprints for developing and deploying bankable solutions that can be integrated with broader projects and deliver co-benefits in conjunction with other climate mitigation efforts. Furthermore, CLIMINVEST will provide investors with risk assessment and ESG reporting tools for projects with climate adaptation elements towards lowering the barriers that hinder their engagement in climatic adaptation projects.
CLIMINVEST will develop and offer a marketplace of bankable climate adaptation projects and solutions, which will boost the discoverability of “best practice” solutions, while also facilitating their replication, repurposing and wider use. The project will build a vibrant ecosystem of interested stakeholders around this marketplace, including local/regional governments, sustainability experts, private investors, and policy makers. The project’s platform and associated ecosystem will serve as a basis for the exploitation, sustainability and wider use of the project’s results. In this direction, the project will devise and validate models for the monetization of services of the project’s marketplace.
