Description
The Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator, led by the World Food Programme (WFP) in partnership with the Adaptation Fund, is a multi-cohort initiative (2024–2029) designed to identify, support, and scale innovative solutions that enhance climate resilience in regions most affected by climate shocks. Each cohort focuses on a specific region, with the upcoming round targeting Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) in 2026. The programme provides selected organizations with tailored innovation support, mentorship, visibility, and access to WFP field operations, all aimed at advancing sustainable development, particularly SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
