The project seek to contribute to (i) a greater awareness of air quality issues, (ii) a better knowledge and monitoring of air quality, (iii) to strengthen capacity, and (iv) to the preparation of projects, programs, of loans of public policies that should lead to a reduction of air pollution in Cambodia.
Project preparation to join Climate Technopreneurship Pogram Adding Vietnam to ROA10- Collaborative R&DB Program for Promoting the Innovation of Climate Technopreneurship. 

 ROA10 includes an accelerator program and setting-up a fund (up to USD 130m) providing funding to early-stage companies offering technology-enabled solutions to address challenges caused by climate change. The program will support start-ups across the entire lifecycle to overcome the technical valley of death through R&D and collaborations and the commercialization valley of death to ensure that technology-enabled climate solutions are implemented at scale.

The current concept note approved by KDB and GCF targets 4 countries (Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, Philippines). Vietnam as one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change globally shall be added to the geographic scope of the fund.

 To add Vietnam, a pre-F/S study must be prepared to assess the local market for start-ups and entrepreneurs and engage with all relevant stakeholders. Further, the potential for climate tech solutions in the Vietnamese context needs to be assessed in more detail.
Hungary-Balkan Regional Multi Donor Trust Fund The countries of the region have been experiencing a steady 
growth in terms of economic performance; their economy 
grew by 3.2% on average in 2017 (World Economic Outlook, 
October 2017). This above average economic expansion (EU’s 
GDP growth in 2017 was 2%; European Commission) made it 
possible for the region to create more jobs and reduce poverty. 
However, despite the positive trends, challenges and risks remain 
stemming from climate threats, and environmental pollution. 
Nevertheless, this risk also comes as an opportunity to introduce 
new, effective technologies and methodologies for the Western 
Balkan Region to ensure a greener and resilient future. Design the Western Balkan Green Fund (WBGF) to mobilize 
additional and complementary resources to support Nationally 
Determined Contributions (NDCs) and green projects of 
Western Balkan countries. Facilitate the alignment of climate strategies and cooperation 
among Fund stakeholders
BMZ GreenInvest Project The need to mobilize private capital for inclusive green 
investments is one of the most pressing issues for the 
achievement of green growth and, since 2015, the targets 
set in the Paris Climate Agreement and Agenda 2030. The 
establishment of GreenInvest aimed to contribute to driving 
convergence between the different but related initiatives. 
GreenInvest works to overcome challenges including:
High barriers for private-sector investments persist, 
including uncertainty and incoherence in policy and 
regulatoryframeworks. Project sponsor inexperience in designing bankable green 
growth projects to submit to potential investors Find new innovative approaches to mobilize private capital 
for inclusive green investment in developing and emerging 
economies by sharing knowledge and enabling the public 
sector to work more efficiently and effectively with the 
private sector and institutional investors.
Development of an Environmental Innovation and Investment ecosystem Support the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD) to develop an innovation and investment ecosystem in Abu Dhabi that will encourage and support the development of an Environmental Goods and Service Sector (EGSS) in Abu Dhabi and the UAE. 

The first part of this project involves clarifying/defining what the EGSS in the UAE context is and how the development of the sector might be measured (how to measure the EGSS in the Abu Dhabi/UAE context). 

The second part of the project involves identifying what the current Abu Dhabi and UAE innovation and investment ecosystem looks like and to scope out (through extensive stakeholder engagement) what an EGSS-friendly innovation and investment ecosystem would look like in the Abu Dhabi/UAE context (where relevant taking into account the specific innovation and investment needs of specific EGS sectors that have good growth potential in the UAE). 

The project may also be widened to explore the innovation and investment ecosystem necessary to support climate change adaptation and other "green" sectors which are not normally considered an EGS. (EGS is generally accepted to consist only of goods and services whose primary purpose is either for environmental protection (EP) or resource management (RM).

Similarly, the project could also support gender equality by ensuring that the proposed innovation and investment ecosystem explicitly takes into account gender impacts and seeks to promote gender equality in the system.
Readiness Support to Capacitate Rwanda’s Sub-National Level Actors in Green Growth and Climate Resilience This project seeks to increase the capacity of Rwanda Government’s Environment and Natural Resources (ENR)Thematic Sector Working Groups (TSWGs) with a focus on strengthening their functions and activities to inform sub-national level actors on green growth and climate resilience that will lead to the delivery of climate actions in their respective sectors, subsectors, and communities. The overall results will lead to successful implementation of key national strategies and plans including the Seven Year Government Programme: National Strategy for Transformation (NST1, 2017/2024), Sector Strategic Plans (SSPs, 2018/2024), District Development Strategies (DDS, 2018/2024) and the Green City Development Master Plans (2019-2050). These strategies and plans are aligned with the Green Growth and Climate Resilience Strategy (GGCRS) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to stimulate green economic development and green investment in Rwanda’s secondary cities and others emerging urban centers.

 The focus on capacitating sector platforms and thematic areas is also aimed at reaching out to different groups, associations and institutions at the sub-national level in the thirty (30) Districts of Rwanda. In addition, guidance, tools and modules that will ensure readiness and awareness to design, implement and monitor green growth and climate resilient projects will be at the heart of this project. This includes the upgrading of the existing Rwanda Climate Portal and establishment of portal user’s forum from environment sector development partners and stakeholders, to serve as main source of climate data and information in Rwanda. The proposed project presents an opportunity towards building stronger linkages and collaboration amongst the different sector stakeholders whose role is to implement government plans and policies.

Climate Action Enhancement Package: Antigua and Barbuda Project focuses on enhancing the country's NDC and fast-tracking NDC implementation.  GGGI is working together with partners including OECS and Climate Analytics. The Climate Action Enhancement Package (CAEP) assists developing countries, member of the NDC Partnership, in achieving two overarching objectives:
Objective 1: Enhancing NDCs which includesincluding  raising ambition, as part of the Paris Agreement’s NDC update process;
Objective 2: Fast-track implementation of NDCs which includes providing in-country technical expertise and capacity building.
The present terms of reference are intended to guide institutional and associate members, as well as developed country members (through their national development agencies) of the NDC Partnership, hereby referred to as the ‘implementing partners’, in the delivery of support to the recipient country. The terms of reference are developed by the NDC Partnership Support Unit, in coordination and consultation with implementing partners and relevant authorities of the recipient country. The terms and delivery of support by implementing partners are contingent on the approval from the recipient country.
Assessment of Macroeconomic benefits of Net Zero and Climate Resilient Pathways Under the Paris Agreement, the Parties are expected to develop and communicate their NDCs every 5 years, gradually increasing their ambition towards achieving the target to limit the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C. The NDCs contain information on climate change actions, technologies, ambition targets, and needs for the provision of finance and capacity building. Understanding and assessing the socio-economic and macroeconomic benefits and investment needs of low-carbon and climate-resilient pathways of countries’ NDCs would provide essential information for supporting and catalyzing climate action. The macroeconomic assessment of countries’ NDCs will illustrate the opportunities for leapfrogging and transitioning to a zero-carbon and climate-resilient development path.

Increased resilience of small-holder farmers in Rwanda through Agrivoltaics Agrivoltaics systems integrate solar panels mounted on elevated structures above crops in order to maximize the use of scarce arable land. The co-location of solar power generation and agriculture offers practical solutions to tackle the vulnerabilities of the food, water and energy systems in rural areas. Whilst Agrivoltaics is a new concept in Rwanda, evidence from successful pilots implemented globally suggests that the productivity of crops grown beneath these elevated solar panels can be significantly improved because the shade from the panels creates a more favorable growing environment characterized by reduced heat stress and water loss. This more favorable growing environment means the range of crops can be extended to higher-value ones (commercial crops), which can improve farmer incomes in disadvantaged rural communities. Crops may also be grown in locations previously unsuitable, further increasing food supplies and revenue sources. Moreover, the energy generated can be used in multiple ways, including water pumping for irrigation purposes on farms, powering farm-based cold storage systems, and supplying electricity to the surrounding villages/communities or even feed into the grid where possible. The solar PV module surfaces can also be used to collect and store rainwater which could become an alternative water source for the farm during the dry season.

This is a 8-month project that seeks to: 1) carry out a pre-feasibility study of agrivoltaic systems in Rwanda, particularly in the country’s drought-prone Eastern Province, 2) Develop a business and financial model for replicability and scalability of the agrivoltaic concept in Rwanda, and 3) Develop and submit a concept note to a potential donor for resource mobilization and implementation of a demonstration project in Rwanda. The project aims to promote efficient use of agricultural land for farmers by increasing agricultural productivity, water availability, access to affordable and clean energy for productive uses such as solar irrigation and post-harvesting facilities by co-locating arable farming with solar PV thereby boosting farmers incomes and reducing poverty.
