Background
The CIN was launched at the 2024 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa to support the development of bankable projects and promote climate-positive growth opportunities. The network is funded by the UK Government, in partnership with the Commonwealth Secretariat, and the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance has been appointed as the delivery partner for its current phase running to March 2026.
