conventional‌government-led‌UN‌system,

implemented‌in‌its‌country‌partners‌that‌can‌be‌scaled‌

and‌replicated‌to‌make‌progress‌on‌climate‌change‌

responses‌and‌SDG‌achievements

▲‌‌‌it‌proactively‌nurtures‌innovative‌businesses‌ideas‌and‌

accelerates‌action-oriented‌public-private‌partnerships,

▲‌‌‌and‌ aims‌ to‌ build‌ sustainable‌ business‌ models‌

with‌ governments‌ supporting‌ the‌ early‌ stages‌ of‌

commercialization‌and‌businesses‌actively‌investing‌

in‌ later‌ stages,‌ thereby‌ bridging‌ the‌ gap‌ between‌

development‌and‌investment.
