NAMA finance is a critical component of the NAMA mechanism and is essential to getting NAMAs off the projects: capacity building in the developing country, NAMA design, NAMA implementation, and investment to NAMAs or NAMA-like actions. The different types of support are given in different forms (e.g., grants, loans, loan guarantees, equity To realize the desired sector-wide climate mitigation action, financial support is needed in each of

Central to the NAMA concept is that climate mitigation and sustainable development goals can go hand For example, Colombia is exploring how NAMAs can be used to promote transit-oriented development, improve By changing long-term land use patterns, the TOD NAMA ensures reductions in greenhouse gases for decades What we need now is a way to accelerate the matching of promising NAMA concepts with enabling investment shared interests and overcoming barriers to agreements that will make NAMA implementation a reality
