ICAF aims to achieve ambitious impacts including reducing, avoiding, or sequestering more than 5 million tCO2 and expanding access to climate solutions for 1 million beneficiaries, while ultimately mobilizing over USD$1.2 billion in additional capital.\n<\/p><p>\n\u201cOur investment in Deetken Impact\u2019s Inclusive Climate Action Fund reflects Canada\u2019s commitment to advancing climate action and inclusive economic growth not only at home, but also in regions where climate risk is highest, like in Latin America and the Caribbean. Canada\u2019s contribution demonstrates our belief that when governments, investors, entrepreneurs, and local communities work together, we can accelerate the transition to a more sustainable, equitable future for all.\u201d\n<\/p><p>\n\u2014 The Honourable Randeep Sarai, Secretary of State (International Development)\n<\/p><p>\nGrounded in Deetken Impact\u2019s decades-long track record of managing high-performing impact funds across 17 countries, ICAF\u2019s blended finance structure combines market-rate and concessional capital to deliver competitive financial returns alongside measurable environmental and social impact. The Fund will be supported by a technical assistance facility to de-risk investment opportunities, accompany pipeline companies to achieve investment readiness, and expand climate and gender equality outcomes.\n<\/p><p>\nDeetken Impact is uniquely positioned to increase the availability of financing for outstanding climate solutions in LAC, by leveraging their strategic advantages; a gender-balanced team located in six countries, deep regional expertise, and a strong commitment to advancing climate action.\n<\/p><p>\n\u201cThe Inclusive Climate Action Fund is a compelling opportunity for investors to access attractive investment opportunities in exceptional businesses that are confronting climate change with innovative, market-based solutions. Canada\u2019s commitment to participate in ICAF as a concessional capital provider is a major milestone in our shared ambition to bridge the climate finance gap in Latin America and the Caribbean and support sustainable and climate resilient development across the region.\u201d\n<\/p><p>\n\u2014 Alexa Blain, Co-Founder and Managing Partner | Deetken Impact\n<\/p><p>\nFor more information about the Inclusive Climate Action Fund, visit <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.deetkenimpact.com&amp;esheet=54364286&amp;newsitemid=20251127856997&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.deetkenimpact.com&amp;index=1&amp;md5=9aa0d157c3b06ad60eef8099aaad4d1a\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">www.deetkenimpact.com<\/a>.\n<\/p><p>\n<b>About Deetken Impact:<\/b>\n<\/p><p>\nDeetken Impact is a Canadian impact asset manager generating strong financial returns while creating lasting social and environmental impact in Latin America and the Caribbean.
