Focus on Climate Investment Funds

The Climate Investment Funds (CIF) was established in 2008 following a multi-stakeholder design process. It embodies a model of equitable governance that fosters dialogue, partnership, and transparency. The Funds (CIF) are enablers of pioneering climate-smart planning and climate action in low and middle-income economies, many of which are the least prepared yet the most prone to the challenges of climate change. CIF responds to the worldwide climate crisis with large-scale, low-cost, and long-term financial solutions to support countries achieve their climate objectives. Helping communities shift faster to clean and green practices strengthens populations’ resilience against climate risks, stabilizes national and regional economies, and paves the way for more sustainable development.
