The Climate Investment Planning and Mobilization Framework (Framework) is an integral part of a programmatic approach championed by the NDC Partnership and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to unite and expedite the implementation of climate strategies and drive transformational climate-development action across countries. It is a key building block that complements elements including robust and ambitious NDCs, LT-LEDS, NAPs and their respective Implementation Plans; high-level political ownership and strong coordination across governments, development partners, financiers, civil society and other key stakeholders; increased availability and predictability of support and finance to developing countries; capacity building and institutional strengthening efforts; and transparency and accountability measures. The elements presented in this Framework build on many additional building blocks, contributing to the investment-planning and finance-mobilization process.
A consultation draft of the Framework was jointly launched at COP28 and was circulated extensively among countries, technical experts and public and private climate finance partners throughout 2024. The feedback received has culminated in this rich, non-prescriptive guide that brings together the collective experiences of climate investment planning and mobilization. Its purpose is to provide a common reference point and language for countries and providers of climate finance and capacity support to navigate the progressive steps involved in moving from planning and setting climate commitments (e.g., NDCs, NAPs, LT-LEDS) to identifying, prioritizing and mobilizing finance for the implementation of the transformational climate action needed to meet those commitments. The Framework is designed to identify the gaps in capacity or information that are preventing climate finance mobilization and to facilitate the successful implementation of climate change projects and programs with the best financial partner.
