Climate Finance ExPrESS

Climate Finance ExPrESS is an Executive & Professional Exchange and Secondment Scheme, accelerating flows of climate finance by building bridges between organisations and people The Problem We Tackle: $6 trillion per year is required until 2030 to finance the global pathway to sub -2°C. There's presently only 1/6th of that amount being raised. To resolve this, blended finance solutions need to be created at speed in great numbers. Different parties need to cooperate effectively to make the climate finance supply chain work and create those solutions – this need is not being met. The Solution We Provide: More personal relationships at the right levels are crucial in accelerating the development of blended finance solutions. Building a wider and deeper mutual understanding between the different stakeholders of their agendas, constraints, risk appetites and ways of working is key. The fastest way to achieve this is for people to spend time in organisations other than their own, in a structured way. This can be delivered via an institution-to-institution secondment/exchange scheme, which we operate.
