Global Climate Innovators Launch New Campaign


Global Climate Innovators Launch New Campaign

  A global campaign featuring up to 50 diverse innovators and their tangible climate solutions across regions, industries, and communities was launched last week. Dubbed the Impact Makers, it is hoped to inspire climate action, innovation and advance solutions. From social entrepreneurs and community leaders to startups, it will be showcased at Climate Week New York City, COP29 in Azerbaijan, and COP30 in Brazil. The campaign focuses on key areas such as energy, transport, industry, land use, ocean and coastal zones, water, and human settlements – all areas of focus for the Marrakech Partnership. Impact Makers will be selected based on their innovation, resourcefulness, communications skills, and the impact and scalability of their initiatives. A diverse Steering Committee, composed of expert international research institutes, climate resilience networks, social impact organisations, and communications platforms, will nominate Impact Makers.
