The project aims to transition Armenia from a reactive to a preventive early warning system for climate-induced hazards, targeting 1,074,100 direct beneficiaries in agriculture. It proposes a $10 million investment to modernize observation networks, introduce impact-based socio-economic risk modelling, and improve 'last mile' communication to vulnerable communities. The initiative focuses on hazards such as floods, droughts, hail, and landslides, addressing a 30-year gap in systematic investment in the national hydrometeorological infrastructure.

The document outlines a request for USD 221,396 from the GCF PPF to complete the design of the PEARL project in Cambodia. The project focuses on transitioning smallholder farmers from traditional rain-fed rice to climate-resilient, high-value crops including cashew, mango, organic rice, and vegetables. Key preparation activities include climate modeling for target crops, identifying catchment restoration areas, designing a revolving fund for infrastructure, and conducting integrated financial and economic analyses. The project intends to benefit approximately 450,000 farmers by improving agrometeorological services and financial access, with a total indicative project cost of USD 41.975 million over eight years.

The document outlines a request for US$ 365,316 from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to prepare a larger project (estimated at US$ 44 million) focused on Botswana's communal rangelands. The proposed project seeks to build resilience for approximately 160,000 people by restoring 43,000 km² of degraded land, implementing climate-resilient grazing practices, and creating a social enterprise for better market access. The preparation phase involves conducting climate vulnerability assessments, gender analyses, and baseline studies on carbon emissions and water quality to ensure the final proposal meets GCF standards.

The Jordan Integrated Landscape Management Initiative (JILMI) seeks to address climate-driven water scarcity and ecosystem degradation in Jordan. The project proposes a cross-sectoral approach to build climate resilience in the Jordan Rift Valley, Zarqa River Basin, and the Gulf of Aqaba. Key strategies include restoring degraded forests, reviving traditional 'Hima' herding practices, implementing small-scale sustainable energy technologies, and mainstreaming integrated landscape management (ILM) into national policy. The request seeks US$ 278,946.28 from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to conduct baseline assessments, gender analyses, and feasibility studies to inform a full funding proposal estimated at US$ 40 million.

The document identifies critical infrastructure barriers to the clean energy transition and details CATF's strategies to overcome them through policy advocacy, research, and stakeholder engagement, requesting $12 million in funding over three years to support these efforts.

The global transportation sector contributes 15-20% of greenhouse gas emissions, with 25-50% coming from vehicles difficult to power with batteries, such as aircraft, transoceanic vessels, and long-haul trucks. CATF aims to catalyze the transition to zero-carbon fuels (ZCF), including hydrogen and ammonia, and the necessary infrastructure. The organization's initial focus is on the U.S. and EU, with plans to expand to emerging economies. To implement these strategies, CATF seeks $6.5 million in funding over the next three years.

The Development Bank of Rwanda (BRD) is seeking support from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for a gap assessment to identify weaknesses in its current capacity relative to GCF accreditation requirements. BRD has a long history of providing long-term finance in Rwanda, with over 50% of its portfolio dedicated to agriculture and renewable energy. A notable project is the World Bank-financed 'Renewable Energy Fund' (REF), worth US$ 48.94 million, which aims to increase electricity access via off-grid technologies, targeting 445,500 connections and benefiting 1.8 million people.
