Climate KIC, in partnership with BopInc, has launched a practical new resource to help organisations embed inclusivity throughout a programme’s lifecycle.
With a structured five-step framework, the guide equips climate entrepreneurs, programme designers, and funders to design initiatives that unlock the full potential of diverse talent and lived experience.
The guide contains practical exercises that enable teams to:
Understand what inclusivity truly means beyond tracking numbers
Meaningfully involve target groups throughout the process
Measure impact through inclusive metrics
Examine power dynamics within organisations and value chains
Build programmes and climate initiatives where inclusivity is intentionally designed from day one
Research shows that women-led firms outperform on environmental and social metrics, yet climate innovation remains a male-dominated field, both in leadership and funding. True inclusivity in this space means designing with, not just for, underrepresented groups. It means moving beyond diversity checkboxes toward shared leadership, equitable access, and inclusive impact.
