Innovation can come in different forms, from processes to using different materials, to taping into new sources of financing, all of these choices made hoping to achieve a different outcome. Whether the outcome is to encourage more people to take action through community engagement or to increase a country's energy security by diversifying the energy matrix, innovation serves as a positive force for change. Innovation creates ideas, exciting exchange of lessons among teams, enabling a virtuous cycle of creation and learning that takes us to a better tomorrow. That is the underlying philosophy the IDB has adopted, and the work on climate is no exception.
