The Global Climate Finance Accelerator is thrilled to introduce the 2025-26 GCFA Accelerator In-Residence Fellows. These exceptional University of Toronto Graduate Students represent a diverse range of disciplines and bring unique perspectives to climate finance solutions, innovative policy development, and the advancement of technologies that enable the transition from pilot to commercialization. As Fellows, they will engage in experiential learning, collaborate with industry stakeholders, and contribute to impactful climate initiatives.
The 2025-26 cohort of Accelerators In-Residence has been funded by the Lawson Climate Institute at University of Toronto, which convenes climate researchers from across the university and fosters connections between faculty, students, and the business and policy communities. We look forward to seeing how their contributions will accelerate the flow of capital toward the deployment of effective climate solutions.
