Innovate4Climate

Connecting Climate Policy, Markets, and Finance

About I4C

Innovate4Climate (I4C) is the World Bank Group’s flagship global conference on carbon pricing and carbon markets. Since its launch in 2017, I4C has brought together governments, businesses, financial institutions, investors, and climate leaders from around the world to support the evolution of carbon pricing and carbon markets from early design to implementation.

Convened by the World Bank Group, the conference is delivered through a collaboration of public, private, and multilateral partners, with Germany and Spain as founding partners and lead sponsors, and the International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP) and the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) as key partners.

More than a conference, I4C serves as a platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and innovation, bridging policy and practice, and connecting ideas with investment. Through high-level dialogues, technical workshops, a marketplace, and networking opportunities, I4C fosters partnerships and delivers practical solutions that help translate climate ambition into measurable action and climate-smart development.
