Papua New Guinea Capacity Building on Climate Change Project Identification and Development

PNG is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Although its absolute emissions level is very low, the NDC for PNG is to achieve 100.00% renewable energy by 2030. Thus, the country has an increasing need for climate financing to address its adaptation and mitigation obligations, but there has been no attempt in accessing climate finance yet. PNG has to address the challenges through its mandated government organization, the Climate Change Development Authority (CCDA). It is therefore important to build the capacity of CCDA in its role as the National Designated Authority (NDA) to the GCF and its processes to support stakeholders in PNG to access climate finance. Against this backdrop, the project aims to support the readiness to green climate financing for PNG through strengthening the country's engagement with the GCF.
