In partnership with the Apparel Impact Institute, Philip Berman takes an in-depth look at its new The Climate Solutions Portfolio which aims to find, feature and fund any initiative with the potential to reduce energy use and/or greenhouse gas emissions at scale in the industry. 

And it has up to 250,000 dollars per year to award to projects that have the data to show they have the potential to make a big impact.  

In this first episode, Philip Berman was joined by Kurt Kipka, the Apparel Impact Institute's Chief Impact Officer, and Linda Greer, who sits on the Institute's advisory panel and is one of the experts assessing the grant applications. 

They talked about, why the Institute believe their new approach is needed, why there is no online registry of proven solutions, and what the Institute is doing about it, how the grants are being funded, and previous winners.

In episode 2, which is released on 29 February, there will be lots of tips on how to apply and what their team is looking for. 

Applications open from 1 to 31 March, 2024.
