Deadline: 3-Jul-25
The ASEAN-UK Green Transition Fund (GTF) aims to accelerate ASEAN’s transition to a clean and climate-resilient economy by reducing emissions in key sectors, supporting green economic growth and improving the livelihoods of vulnerable people.
It will provide technical assistance throughout the region, targeting all ten ASEAN Member States (AMS) and Timor-Leste. The GTF works with ASEAN institutions, such as the ASEAN Secretariat, ASEAN Centres and Facilities, and various ASEAN Entities and Sectoral Bodies.
The GTF is managed by the UK Mission to ASEAN and delivered through the UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transition (UK PACT) mechanism. The GTF is a new, bespoke funding mechanism which the UK has designed to support ASEAN and ASEAN Member States and is a key tool to enhance collaboration between the ASEAN Secretariat, ASEAN Member States, and the UK on climate action. It supports impactful projects through capacity-building, knowledge-sharing, and peer-to-peer learning. It also pilots transformational technologies and facilitates evidence-based climate mitigation actions. Climate adaptation co-benefits will also be delivered.
