This project scales up access to climate finance in low- and middle-income countries by developing green bond markets that mobilize investment in low-emission development. It supports GCF’s strategic goal of mobilizing private finance through innovative, market-based instruments.

Scaling low-emission development in the participating countries is constrained by limited capital, underdeveloped financial ecosystems, and few instruments to attract private investment. These countries also face acute climate vulnerability and mounting risks to their economic and social systems. Strengthening local capital markets is essential to bridge financing gaps and channel resources toward mitigation priorities.

The project aims to mobilise climate finance in low- and middle-income countries by supporting the development of local green bond markets. Through a dedicated investment fund, capital from development finance institutions and private investors will be used to finance climate mitigation projects, while parallel EU-led facilities support capacity-building and lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.

 GCF will invest EUR 200 million (approximately USD 227 million) in equity through the initiative’s fund to support mitigation projects across ten participating countries. The project will prioritise small-scale, low-carbon energy systems and create investment opportunities in hard-to-abate sectors such as transport, helping to channel private capital toward national decarbonisation efforts.

Local CSOs and CBOs in landscapes-seascapes around the world access grant financing and technical assistance, including capacity development and knowledge sharing to maintain and enhance their socio-ecological resilience, well-being and socio-economic conditions for global environmental benefits.

The vulnerability of the coastal people in Bangladesh can be defined in three ways: climate-sensitive livelihoods; vulnerable settlements in low-lying areas; and scarcity of safe drinking water.  Many coastal residents depend on seasonal subsistence agriculture and agriculture wage labour, which are highly climate sensitive. Moreover, many coastal inhabitants live in houses built of mud and plants which are severely affected by cyclones, storm surges, and high tides. The lack of climate-resilient housing poses a serious poverty trap as significant portions of the incomes of coastal communities go towards house repairs.  

The primary goal of the RHL project is to enhance the climate resilience of the vulnerable coastal communities of Bangladesh. The project will attain this goal by financing the development of climate-resilient housing and livelihood technologies while raising knowledge and awareness about the impacts of climate change. The project will build climate-resilient homesteads through the establishment of new, climate-resilient building codes. It will also develop adaptive livelihood options for highly vulnerable and women-headed households– fostering a safer and more resilient future for homes in coastal areas.

Bangladesh is experiencing an increasing frequency and intensity of drought in its flat and low-lying northwestern region (NWR), an important agricultural hub in the country. More than 60% of the population in the region are small, marginal farmers and agricultural labourers that will struggle economically as the window of the drought season keeps expanding. Many of the residents in the region already suffer from food and nutritional deficiency caused by the prolonged drought-periods that have been steadily increasing over the past 30 years.  

The objective of the ECCCP-Drought project is to make the NWR region of Bangladesh less vulnerable to climate change-induced drought while promoting the sustainable use of the region’s scarce water resources. The project achieves this by improving local institutional and technical capacities for the improvement of water planning and governance. In addition to this, the project will provide much needed infrastructure maintenance and provide more water access point for drinking purposes to reduce the burden of women in the region.
