Ecopreneurs for the Climate

To achieve our mission, these concrete objectives guide our path: to promote, connect, and empower climate-championing ecopreneurs; to strengthen local green economy ecosystems; to boost green business networks; and to implement the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We are a "glocal" community of climate practice materialized into a global network of climate innovation labs, where local leaders (“climate organizers”) catalyze multi-stakeholder co-creation by engaging ecopreneurs, civil society, and other key actors in the design of sustainable business solutions to climate-related challenges faced by cities, communities, companies, and organizations. On-site working sessions are complemented by incentivized global crowdsourcing, which adds world-class innovation and international talent. The business development pipeline is completed by comprehensive incubation and acceleration programs (usually run by key partners) that refine, and scale up the resulting green businesses. Closing the loop, we identify best practices and successful models from across our global network; organize inspiring journeys to visit them, and match them with existing challenges elsewhere for new ecopreneurs to adapt and replicate locally, effectively exchanging and transferring climate innovation around the globe.
