The Climate Investment Platform (CIP) is a joint initiative of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), in collaboration with the Green Climate Fund (GCF). CIP’s mandate is to increase capital mobilisation and renewable energy impact investing in developing countries.

The CIP is a demand-driven platform that facilitates the development and scale up of renewable energy technologies through tailored technical assistance to Member countries. Project proponents, registered in the platform, are considered for technical assistance and project facilitation support to reach commercial feasibility readiness for financing matchmaking with registered financial institutions.
