Enhancing Angola’s Access to Climate Finance on Sustainable Transport and Sustainable Landscape (AFOLU) Sectors

The document outlines a Readiness support project for Angola, implemented by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). It aims to address gaps in data, technical capacity, and strategic frameworks that hinder Angola's access to climate finance. The project focuses on two high-emission sectors: sustainable transport, with an emphasis on e-mobility, and AFOLU, using a nexus approach. Key deliverables include a national climate finance strategy, a national e-mobility strategy, a Green Growth Potential Assessment, and the development of two bankable project concept notes for GCF submission. The project also includes regional and global knowledge exchange to share best practices in e-mobility.

• Angola's climate vulnerability is high, with approximately 80% of the most frequent recorded disasters being hydro-climatic events, specifically water scarcity or excess.
• The AFOLU sector is the largest contributor to national emissions, accounting for 70% of the total.
• Angola faces significant deforestation, ranking among the top deforesting countries in Africa with an annual loss of 520,000 hectares of forest between 2000 and 2015.
• The transport sector contributes approximately one-quarter of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in Angola, a figure projected to rise to one-third by 2050.
• A primary barrier to accessing climate finance is the lack of a strategic regulatory framework and a lack of mature project concept notes with strong climate rationales.
• The proposed Readiness grant will deliver a national e-mobility strategy and a climate finance strategy to close financing gaps and prioritize climate actions.
• The project intends to develop and submit two high-quality concept notes to the GCF: one focused on sustainable transport/e-mobility and one on sustainable landscapes/AFOLU.
• The total requested amount for the 12-month implementation period is USD 993,966.
