The 2027 Lab Call funds innovative, early-stage climate finance solutions designed to mobilize private investment into climate action in emerging markets. It supports scalable financial vehicles such as debt/equity funds, guarantee facilities, and results-based financing targeting low-carbon, climate-resilient development in ODA-eligible developing countries across Africa, Asia-Pacific, Brazil, India, and Latin America.
Applicants must propose innovative financial vehicles at initial development or feasibility stages targeting climate mitigation and adaptation in ODA-eligible developing countries. Teams should have proven track records and capacity to dedicate staff time during the funding cycle.
