The proposal seeks USD 998,258 over 18 months to address gaps in Indonesia's climate finance mobilization. Key objectives include establishing a formal coordination mechanism between climate finance focal points, supporting the accreditation of 2-3 new Direct Access Entities (DAEs), and developing a national climate finance strategy to support the Environmental Fund Management Agency (BPDLH). The project, implemented by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), also focuses on improving the quality of project concept notes and increasing private sector engagement.

The proposed programme aims to protect North African oases from climate change impacts, such as extreme heat, drought, and water scarcity. It focuses on establishing a regional management framework, implementing adaptation and mitigation measures (including solar energy for irrigation), and strengthening stakeholder capacity. The initiative seeks to transition from top-down to bottom-up, participatory decision-making to safeguard biodiversity and rural livelihoods.

The proposal seeks funding to support the CSE in Senegal through a gap assessment and action plan to ensure compliance with Green Climate Fund (GCF) fiduciary standards, environmental and social safeguards, and gender policies. The total cost for these activities is USD 29,722, including project management and consultant site visits.

The proposal outlines a 25-year program to address financing gaps for off-grid energy (OGE) companies in India. It seeks US$31 million from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to create a first-loss capital pool and provide technical assistance, complementing a US$100 million revolving credit line anchored by the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA). The facility aims to reduce the high perceived risk of OGE lending, lower interest rates for companies, and replace kerosene use with clean energy in underserved rural and urban areas.

The report details two readiness requests: one for Vanuatu to develop Climate Information Services (CIS) to support adaptation and disaster risk reduction, and one for Senegal to establish a pipeline of privately funded, grid-connected solar projects to address an acute energy crisis.

The document argues that the EU's 2030 target of reducing non-ETS emissions by 30% relative to 2005 levels will create a significant gap between the demand for and supply of Annual Emissions Allocations (AEAs). It suggests that the existing 2020 flexibility mechanism is insufficient and proposes the creation of an AEA Clearinghouse to facilitate project-based trading, increase market transparency, and catalyze low-carbon investment in lower-income Member States.

The International Institute for Sustainable Development proposes a multi-level Water Quality Trading (WQT) system architecture for the Lake Winnipeg Basin to reduce phosphorus emissions and combat eutrophication.

The document proposes a regional workshop on sustainability science to explore the intellectual foundations, research strategies, and institutional infrastructure needed for sustainable development. It builds on a previous global meeting in Sweden that concluded the current global development path is unsustainable and is undermining the Earth's life-support systems. The proposed workshop aims to integrate global processes with local ecological and social characteristics, resulting in a multi-lingual report and the creation of a regional network on sustainability science.

This document outlines the institutional and technical gaps in Togo's climate change governance and proposes a Readiness program to strengthen the National Designated Authority (NDA) and other national institutions to improve access to Green Climate Fund (GCF) financing.

The proposal outlines a strategy to provide electricity to millions in sub-Saharan Africa and India using a modular 'solar energy ladder' that progresses from lanterns to microgrids. It aims to prevent carbon emissions and coal plant expansion while stimulating economic growth through standardized design, large-scale procurement, and innovative financing.

ArcNet is a science-based proposal for a network of priority areas for conservation across the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas. It aims to strengthen the resilience of Arctic biodiversity against climate change and industrial development, supporting the global goal of protecting 30% of the planet by 2030. The initiative calls for inclusive cooperation between Arctic governments, Indigenous peoples, the Arctic Council, scientists, and marine industries to establish and manage these protected areas.
