Stage 3
Financing Strategy
Building upon a set of prioritized investment needs, a country can conduct a more in-depth analysis of financing gaps, explore financing options, identify barriers and solutions, and assess the comparative advantages of different sources of finance.
With this comprehensive understanding, a country can engage potential sources of finance and project proponents to ascertain which financing options are best suited for various investment needs. The targeted outcome of this stage is a financing plan for a country’s NDC-, NAP-, and LT-LEDS-prioritized investment needs, identifying pathways to best-fit finance.

Outcome
A structured financing plan identifies the best-fit financial pathways to support a country’s prioritized NDC, NAP, and LT-LEDS investments, ensuring effective resource mobilization for climate action.
