The Private Financing Advisory Network (PFAN) is a global network of climate and clean energy financing experts, that aims to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs developing climate and clean energy projects and private sector investors.
Developed by the Expert Group on Technology Transfer of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which tasked the Climate Technology Initiative (CTI) and hosted by the International Center for Environmental Technology Transfer (ICETT) in Japan, the PFAN achieves bridging the gap by:
- providing free business coaching to projects, increasing the chances of attracting investment; and
- growing its investor outreach.
PFAN organises Investment Forums to showcase selected investment-ready projects to groups of investors and provides one-on-one Investment Facilitation services to investment-ready projects, shortening the path to further growth.
Its goals are to build clean energy markets one business at a time, mitigate climate change and mobilise private investment in support of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the Sustainable Development Goals.
