The Mitigation Action Facility (MAF), an agile, grant-based multi-donor fund driving decarbonization, launched its Call for Projects 2023 during the third day of the Global NDC Conference 2023. The session combined high-level interventions and a fireside chat with representatives from Mitigation Action Facility donors and a partner country.
Key messages included the need for combining technical and financial assistance as means to implement complex and ambitious climate projects, the relevance of enabling transformational vehicles (such as the MAF) to accelerate NDC implementation in key mitigation sectors, as well as the call for financial instruments that would unlock investments in technologies—leading to a reduction of greenhouse gases.
The Mitigation Action Facility (formerly NAMA Facility) has a funding volume of up to EUR 100 million and seeks to support initiatives that accelerate the reduction of global emissions in the energy, transport, and industry sectors. Ambitious enhanced Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are an assessment criterion. The Call for Projects 2023 is open for submission of Project Concepts until 31 July 2023.
All sectoral transformations have to happen in parallel and in an integrated way — said Anja Hajduk, State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action
