The guidebook is a response to the request from ASEAN and is a collaboration effort of the UNFCCC, UNDP, and JICA. The guidebook provides an overview of the ASEAN regional context on climate finance, information on the national framework needed to mobilize and access climate finance in an effective manner, sources and instruments of climate finance available for the region, as well as a brief manual on climate project development process.

This guidebook, together with the regional strategy on climate finance and the technical assessment on climate finance are a set of NBF knowledge products developed as resources to propel climate finance access and mobilization for South-east Asian countries to achieve their climate ambitions.
