CliFiT4SE is available for the agriculture, transport, and water sectors but can be tailored to other sectors.
Agriculture
Why does it matter?
Agriculture, forestry and other land-use cause almost one quarter of human greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the agricultural sector is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Temperature variability, extreme weather events and changes in precipitation patterns affect agricultural production and are likely to disrupt food systems and threaten global food security.
Adopting climate smart production practices, investing in resilient infrastructure or developing insurance markets are just a few of the many possible approaches to deal with climate change impacts in the agricultural sector.
Livestock supply chains account for 14.5% of human emissions
Biodiversity loss due to intensified agricultural practices and farming systems
USD 100 billion per year is estimated to be required for achieving food security under climate change
What is the focus?
The training material enables sector experts to gain a better understanding of the various interlinkages between agriculture and climate change.
Setting the Scene on Climate Finance
Climate Rationale
Implementation Structure
The sector-specific toolkit equips experts from the agriculture sector with essential knowledge about how to develop a climate rationale and conceptualise concrete ideas eligible for existing climate finance providers.
Reference document
Training toolkit meant to serve as introduction and reference for actors responsible for policies and project pipelines in agriculture, financial institutions, private sector and civil society organizations.
Interlinkages
Sector-specific toolkit sheds light on the role of agriculture in the global climate change regime including relevant climate finance flows, and highlights existing interlinkages between climate change and the food system.
Guidelines
Introduction to key information and guidelines that are crucial for the preparation of climate-proof agriculture projects or programmes, with a strong emphasis on the requirements and criteria of the GCF.
In-depth analysis
Facts and figures, numerous concrete examples as well as detailed case studies based on GCF-approved funding proposals allow for in-depth analysis and application of the training tools.
Interactivity
Highly interactive approach allows participants to directly apply training content to their ongoing work while facilitating engagement with and feedback from their training peers for lasting networks.
Transport
Why does it matter?
Transportation is responsible for 24% of direct CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. With the number of passengers and freight activities continuing to grow, low-emission transport modes are key to decarbonising the transport sector. At the same time, transport infrastructure is particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts, and yet the transport sector remains under-represented in the portfolios of major climate funds.
Travel demand for passenger / freight transport is expected to double by 2050 from 2015
Financing gap estimated at USD 2-3 trillion per year by 2050 for 1.5°C scenario
76% of NDCs highlight transport as a mitigation source, but only 8% of NDCs have established transport sector mitigation targets
What is the focus?
The training material enables sector experts to gain a better understanding of the various interlinkages between
transport and climate change mitigation.

Climate Rationale
Implementation Structure
The sector-specific toolkit equips experts from the transport sector with essential knowledge about how to develop a climate rationale and conceptualise concrete ideas eligible for existing climate finance providers.
Reference document
Training toolkit meant to serve as introduction and reference for actors responsible for policies and project pipelines in the transport sector, urban planning, private sector and civil society organizations.
Interlinkages
Sector-specific toolkit sheds light on the role of transport in the global climate change regime including relevant climate finance flows, and highlights existing interlinkages between climate, weather and (urban) transport.
Guidelines
Introduction to key information and guidelines that are crucial for the preparation of low-emissions transport projects or programmes, with a strong emphasis on the requirements and criteria of the GCF.
In-depth analysis
Facts and figures, numerous concrete examples as well as detailed case studies based on GCF-approved funding proposals allow for in-depth analysis and application of the training tools.
Interactivity
Highly interactive approach allows participants to directly apply training content to their ongoing work while facilitating engagement with and feedback from their training peers for lasting networks.
Water
Why does it matter?
Climate change is radically altering the water cycle. Water is central to agriculture, energy, ecosystems, sanitation, human settlements and many more. Developing resilience to water-related natural disasters, improving water management and protecting water quality and coastal ecosystems are just a few of the many possible approaches to deal with climate change impacts in the water sector.
40% of the world’s population is projected to live under severe water stress by the middle of the century
Water is identified as the number one priority for almost all adaptation actions mentioned in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)
Water projects make up the largest share of adaptation finance with about USD 10 billion spent as international climate finance in 2018
What is the focus?
The training material enables sector experts to gain a better understanding of the various interlinkages between water, ecosystem-based adaptation and climate change.
