Startups and community-led initiatives developing nature-based solutions across the Middle East, North Africa, Türkiye (MENAT) and Southeast Asia are invited to apply for the inaugural C3 Nature Impact Accelerator, launched in partnership with HSBC.
The 10-week programme will support projects tackling ecosystem restoration, urban heat resilience and freshwater conservation through expert-led workshops, one-to-one coaching and connections with funders, corporates and policymakers. The strongest participants will also pitch at the HSBC Nature Impact Showcase, designed to help accelerate partnerships and implementation.
Nature-based solutions are increasingly recognised as a critical tool for addressing climate change, biodiversity loss and community resilience, yet many promising initiatives struggle to access the expertise and investment needed to scale.
Applications for the first cohort are now open and close on 16 August 2026. Find out more and apply via the C3 Nature Impact Accelerator website.
