The Climate Investment Planning and Mobilization Framework was published by the NDC Partnership and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) in December 2024. The framework provides a practical, non-prescriptive guide to help countries move from climate planning to implementation by identifying priority investments, mapping finance sources, developing financing strategies, and mobilizing public, private, and blended climate finance.
Key insights:
The framework supports countries in translating NDCs, NAPs, and LT-LEDS into concrete climate investments and financeable projects.
It is structured around two pillars: investment planning and finance mobilization.
It includes six stages: capacity and coordination, identifying investment needs, financing strategy, engagement with finance partners, project development, and project implementation.
The framework emphasizes strong institutional coordination, especially involving ministries of finance, planning, environment, sector ministries, national development banks, and private sector actors.
It highlights the importance of evidence-based planning through climate risk assessments, emissions scenarios, cost-benefit analysis, and prioritization tools.
The report stresses that countries need to map finance sources, identify investment barriers, prepare project pipelines, and use de-risking tools to attract private and blended finance.
It concludes that climate finance mobilization requires not only more funding, but stronger systems, clearer investment plans, better coordination, and continuous monitoring and learning.
