2021 marks the implementation phase of these projects. Want to learn more? Follow the journey with us.

They attended webinars hosted in their region to learn more about the fund and the types of projects we expected to fund. From training and strengthening local networks to policy proposals that would accelerate emission reductions, our grantees brought the innovation we were looking for.
But the story doesn’t end there.
