Implementation of the Project/Activity

By seeking seed funding to help assemble the initial consortia and to cover start-up costs such as market research, audience analysis, needs analysis, proprietary curriculum development, on-line platform building, and recruitment of regional hosts, future chairs, faculty members, and strategic partners. A detailed budget of set-up and operational costs is available upon request. Pending additional funding, the Clean Energy Solutions Center has offered to provide partial in-kind support for expert assistance, peer learning, and virtual networking to complement the Clean Energy Finance University courses.

This commitment was developed by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, Clean Energy Solutions Center, Frankfurt School–UNEP Collaborating Centre for Climate & Sustainable Energy Finance, the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the United Nations Environment Programme and a number of universities.
