We invite you to join us virtually for the launch of [the new Catalytic Climate Finance Facility (CC Facility)](https://www.convergence.finance/design-funding/open-window/ccfacility),  which is focused on scaling sustainable climate finance by providing market acceleration services to early-stage and market-ready blended financial vehicles in under-financed areas and sectors in developing countries. 
The CC Facility is a partnership between Convergence and Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), two global leaders in blended and climate finance. 

Register for the webinar to:
- Learn about the CC Facility and what makes it unique
- Hear from Convergence and CPI on why we decided to partner on the CC Facility
- Gain insights into how to apply and eligibility and evaluation criteria
- Get your questions about the CC Facility answered

With funding from three anchor donors, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Global Affairs Canada, and Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the CC Facility targets one of the main barriers  in the development process of a climate blended finance idea: the acceleration stage, when solutions face critical barriers and stagnation due to a lack of support. 

*The CC Facility is now open and the first deadline to submit concept notes is coming up on June 9, 2023. Visit [the CC Facility page](https://www.convergence.finance/design-funding/open-window/ccfacility) to learn more and apply.*
