Advancing climate adaptation innovation and private sector engagement
The Climate Adaptation Innovation Learning (CAIL) project accelerates innovation and private sector engagement in climate change adaptation by creating a unique knowledge-sharing platform across three communities of practice: MSME acceleration and innovation, investment funds, and impact measurement and information flows. Its goal is to facilitate access to information, best practices and expertise in climate adaptation within Entrepreneurship Support Organisations (ESOs) in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and the Pacific Islands.

Community of practice for MSME incubation and acceleration
Our Community of Practice brings together ESOs involved with MSMEs focused on climate adaptation. It includes a diverse range of stakeholders such as incubators, accelerators, innovation hubs, investors, academic institutions, and corporates. The community aims to create the conditions needed to develop and implement incubation and acceleration programmes that support private-sector climate adaptation solutions in emerging markets.
Join our community to strengthen your capacity to develop scalable climate solutions, and collaborate with peers through exclusive webinars, workshops, and networking events.
Partner Organisations
The CAIL project is financed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), in partnership with EIT Climate-KIC, the Global Adaptation and Resilience Investment Working Group (GARI) and the United Nations Environment Program Finance Initiative (UNEP FI).
