Climate Investment Fund (World Bank)
Description of entity:
The Climate Investment Funds (CIF) accelerates climate action by empowering transformations in clean technology, energy access, climate resilience, and sustainable forests in developing and middle income countries. Donated by 14 donor countries, the resources are held in trust by the World Bank and are distributed as grants, highly concessional loans, and risk mitigation instruments to recipient countries through multilateral development banks (MDBs). Two trust funds comprise the CIF, the Clean Technology Fund (CTF) and Strategic Climate Fund (SCF).
Relevant funding priorities: The $8 billion Climate Investment Funds (CIF) accelerates climate action.
– Enhancing the Climate Resilience of Coastal Resources and Communities, Pacific (Active: Grant: US$14.6m; Co-funding: $12m). https://projects.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/project-detail/P126596?lang=en
– Pacific Resileince Program (PREP), Asia Pacific (Active; Grant: $5.8m; Co-Financing: $3.7m)https://www.climateinvestmentfunds.org/projects/pacific-resilience-program-prep
Since 2009, the CIF has allocated $2.3 billion to private sector projects. This is more financing than any other climate fund for private sector investments in clean technology, climate resilience, sustainable forestry, and energy access programs in CIF countries.
The CIF’s combination of technical advisory and investment funds (including equity, loans, guarantees, and local currency hedging) helps reduce investment barriers, test new business models, and de-risk new low carbon, climate-smart markets, enabling the private sector to participate faster and at a greater scale. CIF investments worldwide are expected to leverage over $18 billion in private sector co-financing.
Rationale for categorization: Strong geographic overlap, moderate thematic overlap. Merits further investigation. The Fund has a number of dedicated private sector set-asides. While the focus is on climate change adaptation/mitigation-related initiatives, there may be considerable overlap in the energy or resilience sectors. Also note that investments should be programmed into the investment plans of the individual participating countries.
Scale of activities investment: Climate adaptation project $0.5-15m
Other previous investments: Cover 72 developing and middle income countries globally, 12 of which have UNESCO reefs: Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Indonesia, Kiribati, Mexico, Pacific Region, Philippines, Solomon Is, South Africa, Vietnam & Yemen.
Sector: Climate change mitigation (energy); resilience
Instrument used: Grants, equity, loan guarantees, concessionary loans
Geographic Focus: $1.2 billion has been allocated for a Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) to support developing countries and regions in building their adaptation and resilience to the impacts of climate change.
The funding is intended to assist governments to integrate climate resilience into strategic development planning across sectors and stakeholder groups. Then secondly, provide concessional and grant funding to put the plans into action and pilot innovative public and private sector solutions.
$250 million has been set aside specifically for SIDS, including nine Caribbean and Pacific island nations.

Coalition for Private Investment in Conservation
Description of entity:
The Coalition for Private Investment in Conservation is a global multi-stakeholder initiative focused on enabling conditions that support a material increase in private, return-seeking investment in conservation. South Pole serves as CPIC’s Secretariat and Platform Coordinator. CPIC aims to facilitate the scaling of conservation investment by creating models (“blueprints“) for the successful delivery of investable priority conservation projects, connect pipeline providers of such projects with deal structuring support, and convene conservation project delivery parties with investors to execute investable deals.
Relevant funding priorities: CPIC has working groups on coastal fisheries and coastal resilience. WWF and Wilderness Markets have shared in this setting the concept of a blended public and private finance facility, with an initial target of supporting Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs)which take a step-by-step approach toward the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standard, which is based on the core principles of sustainable fish stocks, the minimization of environmental impacts, and effective fishery management. Lack of significant, long-term private sector finance for fisheries in transition is a key barrier to scaling up FIPs.
Rationale for categorization: Not an investor per se, but a resource for compelling investment models. The Blueprints for promoting fisheries sustainability seem particularly relevant CLME+ objectives.
