To support preparation of Malaysia’s 2nd Biennial Transparency Report and a combined 3rd Biennial Transparency Report and 5th National Communication Report for the fulfilment of the obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement (PA). The project will support Malaysia in complying with its commitments under the international conventions.

Southeast Asia faces a dual crisis of escalating greenhouse gas emissions and severe vulnerability to climate change. Rapid decarbonisation is needed, but there is a climate finance gap. While countries have ambitious emission-reduction targets, they cannot achieve them without additional financial support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in particular, are essential for deploying local climate solutions, but they are critically underserved by traditional capital markets due to various barriers.

The Navis Decarbonization Fund I is a private equity fund managed by Navis Capital Partners, which will target growth-stage SMEs across decarbonisation and climate-resilience sectors (e.g., energy access and power generation, low-emission transportation, infrastructure and the built environment, and sustainable agriculture and water) in four countries (Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines).

By deploying capital across SME investments, the fund aims to demonstrate the commercial viability of climate-focused SMEs. With GCF equity serving as an anchor investor, the fund will catalyse finance in decarbonisation sectors and enable sufficient scale and diversification.

Poor land management, particularly deforestation for agriculture, contributes significantly to carbon emissions, worsening global warming and diminishing land productivity. While sustainable land management (SLM) practices offer climate adaptation and mitigation benefits, they face adoption barriers such as limited financing, high investment risks, low technical capacity, and poor supply chain traceability. Addressing and overcoming these barriers is key to reversing land degradation and promoting sustainable development.

The Mirova Sustainable Land Fund 2 (MSLF2) aims to tackle the interconnected challenges of land degradation and climate change by investing in SLM projects in selected countries (Costa Rica, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Malaysia, Morocco, Peru, and the Philippines). It supports reversing land degradation by investing in practices in agroforestry, regenerative agriculture, and sustainable forestry. These approaches will enhance soil health, increase biodiversity, and improve carbon sequestration, making agriculture and forestry more resilient to climate variability and extreme weather events.

Employing a blended finance structure, MSLF2 combines public and private capital to mitigate risks and attract private investment in SLM projects.  The fund will offer flexible financing options to small- and medium-sized enterprises and provide technical assistance to help investee companies enhance their investment readiness and operational capacity.

This project was brought under the Project-Specific Assessment Approach (PSAA), an initiative to streamline and broaden access to GCF finance for new partners, countries, and technologies.

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.
