Sectors
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
