Climate Finance and NDCs in Latin America: Guide to accessing international funding sources

Europe is highly committed to the effective management of climate financing, as this study demonstrates: all 25 financing sources include funds from European Union member countries, while 11 of them receive funds from the EU itself. One of these initiatives is the Latin American Investment Facility (LAIF), an EU-Latin American cooperation programme that is intended to promote synergies with EUROCLIMA+. It is an innovative finance mechanism, a “blending” facility that combines EU grants with other public and private resources such as loans and capital to leverage additional financing beyond grants. 

We hope that this publication makes a tangible contribution to helping countries in the region find suitable financing for planning and implementing adaptation and mitigation actions in the context of climate change.
