The Mitigation Action Facility is a go-to platform providing technical support and climate finance for ambitious mitigation projects with the aim of decarbonising key sectors of the economy and society.
The Mitigation Action Facility funds ambitious climate change mitigation projects to implement Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and long-term strategies (LTS) that are crucial for achieving the Paris Agreement goals. The Call for Projects 2026 will offer climate finance for the implementation of mitigation projects aligned with new ambitious NDCs. While the Mitigation Action Facility primarily focuses on three priority sectors, it remains open to cross-sectoral projects linked to one of the priority sectors. As highlighted in the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) , energy, transport and industry together account for 73% of global annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (as of 2021). To shift the targeted sectors towards a carbon-neutral development pathway, the Mitigation Action Facility selects innovative projects that can catalyse sector-wide transformational change. These efforts can help fill the shortfall in climate finance required to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
