We have established a catalytic fund mechanism to support the early-stage implementation of innovative and demonstrative pilot projects. This fund provides essential seed financing and technical assistance to facilitate project initiation and generate replicable experience.

In addition to enabling early-phase development, the fund plays a catalytic role by using policy incentives and enabling measures to attract increased private sector participation in subsequent project construction and operations. Through this mechanism, public finance is leveraged to crowd in private capital, fostering a synergistic public-private financing model that supports long-term project sustainability.

As of 2024, UNDP's Sustainable Finance Hub has mobilized over USD 867 billion in public and private capital to support SDG-aligned investment globally.

Building upon the INFF/ILFF framework, a five-pillar architecture—Principles, Standards, Disclosure, Measurement, and Application. This system integrates public and private financing channels and resources to deliver holistic climate finance solutions, including but not limited to policy coordination, pipeline development, risk mapping, and fund management.

Under the framework of UNDP's Green and Digital Innovation Cooperation Project (GDIP), we fully leverage the INFF/ILFF to ensure that project financing needs are met, while enabling effective approach and long-term sustainability.

We provide climate finance to pilot projects through a managed Impact Investment Fund. The fund focuses on market-based investments in the field of sustainable development, with priority areas including infrastructure, proactive health, green buildings, clean energy, circular economy, low-carbon transport, sustainable agriculture and food systems, and the 1.5°C lifestyle.

We work closely with global partners to jointly identify and assess investment opportunities, ensuring that capital is directed toward projects the most promising and impactful projects.

Through the management of the Green Future Fund, we support projects and initiatives that generate positive social and environmental impact, contributing to the global sustainable development agenda.

The fund prioritizes support for regions and cities in developing and delivering climate action plans, advancing international sustainable partnerships and initiatives, and promoting education and capacity-building for youth, women, and children. It also plays a role in awareness raising for sustainable development.
