Restore and conserve key ecosystems in the Yuna Watershed through the implementation of nature-based solutions implemented by Inter-American Development Bank (IADB)

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.

Throughout Latin America, the transport sector is the largest and fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas emissions, driven by a car-centric urban development and a lack of electric and public transit alternatives. While there are a few electric vehicle (EV) pilot projects in the region, achieving long-term transformation and large-scale market adoption remains difficult. This is due to the higher capital requirements for EVs, risk perceptions by the private sector regarding public EV business models, and policies that are not conducive to wide EV adoption. The region has significant potential for clean transportation and electric mobility because it generates relatively clean electricity.

To overcome the barriers and take advantage of the opportunities, the project aims to reduce the investment risks for both the public and private sector in the e-mobility industry. It will provide technical support to develop and test business models and develop the enabling environment to expedite the widespread viability of electric mobility in urban public transport – including large-scale investments in infrastructure and EVs. 

The programme will improve access to affordable, attractive, and low carbon urban transport, especially for the most vulnerable populations that often depend on public transport to access basic services and socio-economic opportunities.

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean are highly vulnerable to climate change, which affects crucial economic sectors such as tourism, agriculture, and fishing. Rising sea levels and changing weather patterns threaten natural habitats and increase the severity of natural disasters. Despite minimal contributions to global emissions, SIDS in the Caribbean face significant economic risks, with projected annual losses of USD 22 billion by 2050, making emissions reduction essential.

The Caribbean Net-Zero and Resilient Private Sector programme supports climate resilient investments in the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago. Focusing on agriculture, sustainable infrastructure, renewable energy, transport, and the blue economy, the programme aims to overcome investment barriers by providing advisory services and blended finance solutions. It also emphasises gender mainstreaming to close gender and diversity gaps in the region.  

Moreover, the programme aims to scale up private climate finance through local actors by combining advisory services with concessional financing from GCF, which will enhance the region's climate resilience and sustainable development. By mobilising 3.4 times the funding from IDB Invest and other co-financiers, it will help reduce the existing climate finance gap for SIDS in the Caribbean region.
