The Climate Investment Funds: Driving transformational change by mobilizing co-financing to fight climate change
Thursday, October 29, 2015 — 12:00PM - 1:30PM Room 1024, 5 Bancroft Ave., School of the Environment
The Climate Investment Funds is an 8.1 billion dollar climate finance instrument, which was founded in 2008 to help developing countries fight global warming. The CIF was established to test and learn about deployment of climate finance at scale. As more projects and programs get underway, concrete results are beginning to emerge, including evidence on what is working, what is not, and why. These results are being reported and measured annually, while CIF knowledge is being amassed and disseminated widely to improve results, support the replication and expansion of successful approaches, and test new models for scaled up engagement. With 300 projects in the pipeline and many more expected as new investment plans are developed, the CIF is driving transformational change across sectors and technologies at the country and global levels while mobilizing significant co-financing to fight climate change. Join the Environmental Governance Lab for a brown bag lunch with the Program Manager at Climate Investment Funds, Mafalda Duarte.
