Global Innovation Fund Climate diagnostic and marker 2.21

This resource is a climate diagnostic and marker tool which is intended to be used during an investment due diligence process to: 

  • identify and mitigate, if possible, risks posed by climate to the investment
  • identify and mitigate, if possible, risks posed by the investment to climate
  • identify and enhance, if possible, opportunities to create additional climate benefits or to respond to emerging demand for climate action
  • determine whether the investment qualifies as mitigation finance, adaptation finance, or environmental finance for reporting purposes and for accessing climate-restricted funding
  • screen out proposals with unacceptably high risks

The marker is designed to evolve throughout the investment process as information is gathered. It is expected that at the earliest stages there will be significant gaps.
