Strengthen National Climate Policy Implementation: Comparative Empirical Learning & Creating Linkage to Climate Finance (SNAPFI)

01 Jul 2019 to 30 Jun 2023

Description

As part of implementing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), governments face the challenge of supporting national climate policies and institutions with limited public funds while also reducing the barriers to investment faced by the private sector. This project supported NDC implementation in partner countries with research-based policy advice and capacity development. One central question here concerned the design of policy and financial instruments to ensure that they mobilise private and public-sector investment. The contribution made by climate financing to support for robust institutional investment frameworks was also investigated. Issues of national relevance were examined in annual, country-specific studies that focused on various NDC policy areas, which were also supplemented by a cross-sectional study. Workshops, publications and webinars were used to ensure that insights gained were transferred to the policymaking process.
