Regional Webinar, UK PACT Green Recovery Challenge Fund, Asia

What is it?

This webinar provides general information about the UK PACT Green Recovery Challenge Fund and our expectations for quality applications for funding. It will focus on the themes and timelines for the first call for proposals in August 2020, specifically for applicants relevant to Asia.

Who is this webinar for?

Organisations and individuals that have an interest in applying for funding for the delivery of technical assistance projects that will build capacity in the thematic areas outlined below, as well as those who would like to find out more information in order to share details of the fund with relevant parties.

The first round of funding launching in August 2020 focuses on two themes:

  • Greening financial systems will support target countries across Asia and Latin America to mainstream climate-related financial risks and opportunities in order to accelerate the low-carbon transition and enable a green recovery.
  • Electrifying urban mobility aims to advance more equitable, accessible and cleaner transport systems in target Asian countries, with a focus on electric vehicles.

Future funding rounds will focus on different themes and regions, including countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Details of these future funding rounds will be announced later this year.
