Eligible focal area investments include de-centralized renewable energy with energy storage, electric drive technologies and electric mobility, accelerating energy efficiency adoption, and cleantech innovation. 6. (...) The key objectives of the program are to de-risk investments in electric vehicles through demonstration projects and to support participating countries in developing country- and context- specific policies and incentives for electric mobility. (...) As outlined in the 2018-2022 Adaptation Strategy, LDCF/SCCF project selection and approval transitioned in GEF-7 to a Work Program model at the start of this reporting period, under which projects selected based on strategic prioritization factors are presented for approval by the LDCF/SCCF Council.

For data on sustainable transport, efforts have been made to improve coverage of public and private investment in electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. However, high-quality data on private investments in sustainable agriculture, forestry and land use, water, waste, and adaptation and resilience are particularly lacking. (...) For the fourth BA, several new data sources have been used to track climate finance in areas that were not previously included, such as electric vehicle charging infrastructure, transport, water, waste and municipal investments. (...) Figure 2 Climate finance flows in 2017–2018 (Billions of United States dollars, annualized) FCCC/CP/2021/L.9 GE.21-16683 12 Notes: (1) Value discounts transport energy efficiency estimates by 8.5 per cent to account for overlap with electric vehicle estimates, same as in previous years; (2) From Annex II to non-Annex I Parties.

Eligible focal area investments include de-centralized renewable energy with energy storage, electric drive technologies and electric mobility, accelerating energy efficiency adoption, and cleantech innovation. 5. (...) (c) In sustainable transport and urban systems, in the reporting period, ten additional country projects were approved in the Global Programme to Support Countries with the Shift to Electric Mobility, with $21.9 million in GEF funding, including PPGs and Agency Fees, leveraging $218.8 million in co-financing. (...) As outlined in the 2018-2022 Adaptation Strategy, LDCF/SCCF project selection and approval transitioned in GEF-7 to a Work Program model, under which projects selected based on strategic prioritization factors are presented for approval by the LDCF/SCCF Council.

(...) For 9 This includes the Addendum to the project Global Programme to Support Countries with the Shift to Electric Mobility. 10 These projects are aligned with the objective of CCM-1: Promote innovation, technology transfer, and supportive policies and strategies. (...) Advancing coordination and collaboration in further expansion of the GEF-funded large-scale program on the Great Green Wall across the Sahelian countries; the Amazon Initiative; the SFM-REDD+ Initiative; and the implementation of the electric mobility portfolio are few examples. 19 In addition, a total of $4,250,000, including PPGs and Agency fees, were endorsed for two SGP Upgraded Country Programs (Peru, Sri Lanka).

The project will focus on four components: (1) green buildings, including retrofitting existing buildings and piloting new near zero-emission buildings (including smart metering); (2) low-carbon energy mix, including on-site distributed generation from renewable energy and natural gas and purchase of green electricity; (3) green transport with a focus on electric buses; and (4) integrating green energy schemes to achieve low-carbon objectives. If successful, the Changning model has a wide replication potential in Shanghai and across China (...)

Drawing on the GEF’s past experience and lessons learned, an initiative to promote Public- Private Partnerships (PPP) for Technology Transfer could be established to support private sector engagement in technology transfer in order to leverage innovative financial instruments or business models for technology deployment and diffusion in developing countries.

(...) In the reporting period, the GEF has supported seven projects in energy efficiency, two projects and one program in renewable energy, five projects on clean technology innovation, two projects in electric mobility, one project in agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) and 18 mixed and other projects (which includes 15 CBIT projects). (...) Out of the nine projects with CCM benefits, six projects will support agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) and deforestation-free commodity value-chain activities by providing patient capital helping proof-of-concept of new business models. Three projects will support renewable energy and energy efficiency activities by providing fast-tracked flexible financing to those industries (energy access companies and tourism – hotel industry specifically) that were hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. 41.

The term REDD+ includes carbon benefits not only from reducing deforestation and degradation, but also from the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks. (...) By demonstrating and validating successful models for the use of non-grant instruments, the GEF can help catalyze large-scale changes through broader adoption and generate experiences, which may also be useful for other international environmental finance mechanisms such as the GCF.
