This community consists of individuals across Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands engaged with or having a stake in micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises focused on climate adaptation initiatives. This encompasses Entrepreneurship Support Organizations (ESOs) such as innovation agencies, incubators, accelerators, ecosystem builders, venture capital investors, coworking spaces and hubs, development and non-profit organizations, academic institutions, universities and research entities, angel and early-stage investors, and corporates.

The main purpose of this community is to create enabling conditions for members to develop and implement incubation and acceleration programmes tailored to support climate adaptation solutions from the private sector, particularly in emerging markets. 

This involves strengthening the capacities of stakeholders, facilitating networking and exchange with a focus on learning, identifying and promoting scalable and sustainable climate adaptation business models to attract funding from the private sector. 

To advance these objectives, the community hosts webinars and training sessions on key topics like climate adaptation strategies and business model development. Regular workshops encourage knowledge sharing and expert insights, while networking events, both virtual and physical, help build strong relationships among stakeholders.
