The Mitigation Action Facility is a joint initiative of the BMWK, UK’s Department for Energy Security & Net Zero, the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities (KEFM), the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), the European Union and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF). It catalyses investments, strengthens capacities and triggers behaviour change towards sectorial decarbonisation. GIZ is implementing the Mitigation Action Facility including the operation of the Technical Support Unit (TSU) as a secretariat.
