The Mitigation Action Facility, an agile, grant-based multi-donor fund, is pioneering transformative climate action by supporting ambitious projects in energy, transport, and industry. As both a climate fund and a Knowledge and Learning Hub, the Mitigation Action Facility’s serves as a platform for connecting projects, stakeholders, and the wider climate finance community. By embedding learning across all its activities, the Mitigation Action Facility ensures that insights and experiences from funded projects are captured, shared, and applied, allowing lessons learnt to inform ongoing work and inspire replication globally.
PEOPLE, PROCESSES, GOVERNANCE, and TECHNOLOGY
The Knowledge and Learning Hub operates across four interlinked dimensions:
- Connecting people such as projects in preparation and in implementation, as well as the broader public, through various exchange formats
- Learning processes and support to identify evidence-based insights and enable continuous learning from successes and failures
- Digital tools and knowledge products facilitate knowledge sharing and learning both within the Mitigation Action Facility and with the broader public
- Learning related policies guiding learning activities of the Knowledge and Learning Hub
Through these interconnected dimensions, we foster co-learning that strengthens project efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability. It creates a shared identity across projects, building a strong community committed to decarbonising key sectors.
Co-learning in action
Projects funded by the Mitigation Action Facility actively participate in knowledge exchange, translating lessons into action and adapting approaches across contexts.
Examples from the portfolio illustrate the power of collaboration and learning:
- The Brazil – Industrial Energy Efficiency (PotencializEE) project mentors women in a male-dominated energy audit sector.
- The India – Waste Management project empowers women to run waste facilities and promotes eco-friendly practices citywide, reaching over two million people through awareness campaigns
- The Thailand – Low-Emission Rice project inspired the Costa Rica Coffee project to adopt a life-cycle approach for greenhouse gas data collection
- The Tunisia – Clean Energy in Buildings project restructured its financial mechanism after learning from the Colombian Domestic Refrigeration project, mobilising an additional EUR 20 million for renewable energy access
Across these examples, we facilitate learning through structured exchanges, evaluations, webinars, working groups, and digital tools, ensuring insights are captured, documented, and shared within and beyond the Mitigation Action Facility.
Looking ahead
The Mitigation Action Facility’s Knowledge and Learning Hub exemplifies the principle that climate action is strongest when rooted in shared experience. By investing in learning, digital resources, and exchange spaces, the Mitigation Action Facility builds a legacy of knowledge that empowers today’s practitioners and equips future generations to accelerate decarbonisation, advance carbon-neutral development, and contribute to the Paris Agreement goals.
In a world where urgent, scalable climate solutions are more critical than ever, the Mitigation Action Facility’s commitment to knowledge sharing is not just a strategy, it is a cornerstone for a resilient, carbon-neutral future.
