The achievement of Ecuador’s NDC targets requires a substantial increase in the volume of public and private, national and international climate finance invested in the country.
As a result, the Government of Ecuador, under the leadership of the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Ecological Transition (from now on referred to as MAATE) and Ministry of Economy and Finance (from now on referred to as MEF), has embarked on an ambitious effort to increase the mobilization of international climate finance and private investments for a climate resilient and low-carbon development. The Green Climate Fund’s (from now on referred to as GCF) project called “Mobilization of international climate financing and private investments for climate-resilient and low-carbon development in Ecuador” will help Ecuador in achieving its goals.
The project aims to enhance Ecuador’s strategic framework to increase the mobilization of international climate finance and private investments for advancing the implementation of the country’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and its low-carbon development.
One of the anticipated outcomes of this project is to provide recommendations for integrating environmental, social, and climate change considerations into the existing legal framework regulating public-private partnerships (PPPs) and building a portfolio of climate-resilient PPP projects. The assignment is to be done for the Public-Private Investment Secretariat in Ecuador.
Additionally, capacity-building workshops will be conducted for the effective identification and implementation of international best practices and recommendations.
