Climate Solutions and Sustainable Entrepreneurship Fund

The Office of Global Partnerships (GP) of the U.S. Department of State (DOS) announces an open competition for organizations to submit a statement of interest (SOI) to carry out a program (or programs) to expand and amplify the Department's response to the climate crisis and capitalize on the resources of GP's Coalition for Climate Entrepreneurship program (CCE). The Office of Global Partnerships (GP) of the U.S. Department of State (DOS) has launched the Climate Solutions and Sustainable Entrepreneurship Fund (CSSEF) to drive sustainability-focused programming in makerspaces, community centers, and technology labs in developing economies that strive to capacitate local entrepreneurs and increase their ability to scale climate solutions to market. GP hopes to help create local communities of entrepreneurs and entrepreneur-support organizations around these hubs that are more market savvy, more resourced, more cooperative amongst each other, and better able to generate climate solutions.
