The Catalytic Climate Finance Facility (CC Facility) has launched its fourth call for applications for high-impact, scalable, and market-ready blended climate finance solutions in developing economies.
These solutions support a range of initiatives, such as climate-resilient agriculture, marine conservation, biodiversity, climate adaptation, and renewable energy. They do so via blended finance solutions, including debt, project finance platforms, and venture capital.
