This project aims to use private sector investments in climate change mitigation and adaptation across Latin America and the Caribbean while promoting gender-responsive, sustainable economic development. The project offers lower-cost and longer-term loans for innovative private-sector projects that need concessional financing to be viable. Project activities include: (1) investing in climate-smart agriculture practices. This includes drought-resistant seed varieties, irrigation infrastructure, and sustainable land use practices that aim to increase productivity, enhance resilience, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions; (2) scaling up low carbon and climate resilient technologies such as energy storage, wastewater management, and charging infrastructure; (3) restoring sand beaches, dunes, mangroves, and coral reefs to increase coastal resilience and protect the most vulnerable communities from the impacts of climate change; and (4) developing carbon markets in Latin America and the Caribbean by advising and financing borrowing member countries, developing carbon credit methodologies, and increasing transparency in market conditions.
