for demonstrating increased climate impact through diverse fund management
VC Include is an advisory, education, and training platform created to inform, advocate, and catalyze investment into women- and diverse-led investment funds, especially those investing through environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics. VC Include works with public and private sector partners to ensure inclusion and diversity is baked into investment management. VC Include will support climate mitigation funds managed by underrepresented investors, tracking data related to the climate impact of their portfolio investments. This project is designed to demonstrate that diverse-led climate funds lead to concrete climate benefits and to benefits for underserved communities. (Substrategy: Climate Finance)
