The side event will provide an illustrative example of how finance provided under the $100bn umbrella target delivers climate action in the real world and can play a fundamental role in leveraging further public and private finance in developing countries.
At this event, we will formally announce shortlisted applicants from the Ambition Initiative and mark the launch of the second round of the Ambition Initiative.
The NAMA Facility Ambition Initiative was jointly launched by the UK and Germany in 2020 and was later joined by the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation.
