Guarantees can help bridge the finance gap for viable climate projects. In 2023, they mobilized USD 17 billion in private finance, according to the OECD. While they can support risk management to crowd in much-needed capital for climate action, their low visibility and a fragmented data landscape have kept them underused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To address this gap, the GGG Guarantee Directory<\/a>, developed by the Green Guarantee Group <\/a>(GGG) with support from Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), is a first-of-its kind public, global platform that makes finding and using guarantees easier than ever.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n Guarantees are among the most effective tools for unlocking climate finance. By helping investors and lenders manage diverse risks\u2014from political instability to credit default\u2014they can mobilize private capital for projects that deliver climate and development impact. Yet, their use remains limited due to the fragmented guarantees landscape. Available guarantees are scattered across dozens of institutions, all with different terms. There is limited visibility on who offers what, under what conditions, and for which sectors. For many project developers, local financial institutions, and governments in emerging markets, finding the right guarantee can feel like navigating a labyrinth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To raise climate investment to the required levels, especially in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs), stakeholders need tools that make risk mitigation simple, transparent, and actionable. Right now, a lack of accessible and comparable information limits the uptake of guarantees precisely where they are needed most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s where the <\/strong>GGG Guarantee Directory comes in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The GGG Guarantee Directory is the first public, global platform designed to map, organize, and compare climate-aligned guarantee instruments. The directory is a one-stop resource for understanding the landscape of guarantees that can support green investment in EMDEs. By consolidating information on available guarantee products, the directory improves market transparency, accelerates deal flow, and strengthens collaboration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It provides structured and comparable data on each guarantee product, including: <\/p>\n\n\n Each entry is contributed directly or verified by the guarantee providers themselves, ensuring accuracy and transparency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The directory is designed to support the full ecosystem of climate finance actors:<\/p>\n\n\n By improving visibility, coordination, and data accessibility, the directory can help guarantees deliver on their full potential\u2014mobilizing finance for climate and sustainable development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The directory is more than a data repository\u2014it is a building block for a stronger climate finance architecture. Mapping available instruments helps ensure that public and private resources are used more efficiently and that innovation can scale across markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In its next phase, the directory aims to evolve into a matchmaking platform that connects project developers and financiers directly with the most relevant guarantee providers. It will also integrate case studies and market analytics to strengthen its role as an actionable tool for practitioners. If you are looking for a guarantee:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n If you are a guarantor:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n The directory will be continuously updated and welcomes inputs from all guarantors, whether domestic or cross-border, from multilateral or national development banks, as well as from local financial institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This resource will remain freely accessible to the public, with one goal in mind: mobilizing private capital for a more sustainable and resilient future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
