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.

In Latin America and the Caribbean, the vulnerability of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), smallholder farmers, women, and poor households in general is linked to their economic dependence on activities affected most by climate change.  They are also affected by their reliance on conventional and potentially harmful energy sources and limited capacity to invest in climate-smart technologies and practices.  

It is estimated that 95 per cent of the 15 million smallholder farmers in Latin American and Caribbean countries are already experiencing negative impacts from rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, extreme weather events, pest and disease incidence, and decreasing income generation and food security.  

Financial institutions can play a vital role in financing climate-smart agriculture (CSA) equipment to increase adaptation and promote mitigation. The Kuali Fund-GCF will invest in local financial service providers (FSPs), including small banks, microfinance institutions (MFIs), cooperatives, non-bank financial institutions, and FinTech companies, as well as innovative companies (ICs) that use technology to offer solutions to climate change mitigation and adaptation. The Kuali Fund-GCF will invest in Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Panama to transform the FSPs in their transition to become greener and more inclusive.
