This resource describes CIF's main achievements up to 2020, along with its strategies and priorities. This is supported by key examples of recent projects around the globe, such as CIF support for farmers and ranchers in the Brazilian Cerrado piloting low-carbon agricultural practices. Key roles played by CIF in climate finance, as a learning lab, and as a pioneer in climate change action, are highlighted. A list of CIF program snapshots and CIF-GDI case studies are included.
The report concludes with CIF's focus points for 2021:
This publication discusses the benefits for Latin American and Caribbean countries of implementing auctions to attract investments in clean energy in order to diversify the energy matrix, improve energy security, and reduce exposure to oil price volatility.
This publication introduces the Gender Mainstreaming Framework in the energy value chain as well as provides different case studies on gender inclusion from India and Nepal. The case studies focus on gender mainstreaming practices in the energy sector—specifically in the off-grid, grid connected, and clean cooking segments. They highlight the practical interventions and capture their replicable processes and aspects.
This report The Oil and Gas Industry in Energy Transitions demonstrates that three considerations provide the boundaries for this analysis. First, the prospect of rising demand for the services that energy provides due to a growing global population – some of whom remain without access to modern energy – and an expanding global economy.
The Best Practice Guide for Clean Energy Solutions in Municipal Water Infrastructure intends to assist municipalities in the implementation of cleaner energy technologies and services at their waterworks by suggesting the key elements that municipal officials need to consider to implement a cleaner energy project.
This policy brief makes recommendations to the Government of South Africa on renewable energy and energy efficiency policies related to municipal waterworks and their operations. The corresponding Best Practice Guide provides municipal officials with the tools needed to make a case for and implement clean energy interventions in their municipalities.
