Massachusetts has long been a pioneer in innovation, leading the charge in developing climatetech by fostering a robust ecosystem of startups, bolstering research institutions, and promoting public-private partnerships. This talk examines how the Commonwealth can strengthen its leadership by making targeted investments along the commercialization pathway for climatetech, helping early-stage research continue to innovate, and supporting startups and industry to develop climatetech solutions that help mitigate emissions and adapt to become more resilient to climate change.

A network of environmental funds of Latin America and the Caribbean has developed standards that address financial, social, and environmental capacities required for this transformation. One of its members, the Mexican Fund for the Conservation of Nature (FMCN) uses these standards to measure it’s eNectiveness. However, to fulfil its mission, FMCN needs strong local organizations. A system to identify the knowledge required to manage funds, as well as best environmental and social practices is underway. FMCN´s 30-year journey of mapping proven solutions, such as investing in protected areas, payments for ecosystem services, and no-take zones in fisheries will be presented. Challenges, such as scaling community enterprises, will be discussed together with academic contributions needed to identify the path for ensuring a more sustainable future.
