Rio Changemakers
Calling climate and nature funds.
Rio Changemakers is inviting impact funds investing in climate and nature across emerging markets and developing economies to join its first cohort.
Selected funds will be among the first to shape Rio Changemakers, with opportunities to showcase their funds, connect with high-integrity climate and nature projects, test the platform and build visibility among potential financing partners.
Priority will be given to funds supporting Indigenous Peoples and local communities, women-led and youth-led organizations, and other locally led initiatives.
Every donation counts – no matter the amount. Thank you for supporting restoration leaders.
