HOW PROJECTS ARE SELECTED
To ensure only sound and sustainable climate solutions with high impact potential are featured on the Climate Solutions Hub, we follow a three-step selection process.
We tap into the knowledge and experience of some of the world’s most established climate funders and experts, whom we are grateful to call the official partners of the Climate Solutions Hub. Our partners recommend selected organisations and climate projects from their own fields of expertise, each bringing a unique perspective to climate funding to the table.
