Abstract

The Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) is a four-year (2020-2024) technical assistance programme developed by the International Climate Finance (ICF) Team of the UK Government'Äôs Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The CFA is being delivered by an Alliance led by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC UK) with support from Ricardo-AEA and a number of other organisations and independent subcontractors. Lack of funding and technical support, an unsupportive policy environment, and now the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, can present considerable obstacles in the climate finance supply chain for low-carbon projects in middle-income countries. The CFA aims to tackle those challenges by supporting countries to develop a sustainable pipeline of bankable, low-carbon projects in the context of the ever-growing need for sustainable recovery triggered by the pandemic.
