Catalytic Climate Finance Facility

The Catalytic Climate Finance Facility (CC Facility) accelerates the implementation of high-impact, ready-to-scale financial structures, filling a market gap in mobilizing private capital for climate action in developing economies. The initiative is a partnership between Climate Policy Initiative and Convergence, who are combining their expertise to turn innovative financial vehicles into scalable solutions, to increase the available investable pipeline and grow the climate finance market.  

The CC Facility offers grant funding of up to USD 500,000, customized technical support over 12-18 months, and knowledge-sharing resources through a learning hub. The initiative aims to be an ecosystem builder and address a market need in scaling blended finance structures and catalyzing capital for climate change. 

Since 2023, the program has supported 17 scalable vehicles that have raised USD 308 million in new commitments since joining the program and unlocked more than USD 700 million through direct investments and co-funding for climate projects in EMDEs.
