Strengthening Resilience: The CIFAR Alliance in Action

In 2024, the CIFAR Alliance expanded its network and advanced climate finance solutions to build resilience in vulnerable communities. Through initiatives like the TECA Venture Launcher and the CIFAR Innovation Ecosystem Playbook, we strengthened global collaboration, driving impact across Africa, Latin America, and beyond. Our participation in Climate Week NYC, the Skoll World Forum, and COP29 reinforced our commitment to inclusive, sustainable solutions.

We made strides in climate finance, carbon markets, and resilient agriculture, translating insights into action through research, case studies, and our Co-Labs. The launch of the Carbon Finance Learning Series and new partnerships further cemented our role in shaping adaptation strategies.

This report captures our journey, insights, and impact—driving innovation at the intersection of financial resilience and climate action.
