In a world first for a multilateral climate fund, the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) will raise investment capital directly from international capital markets through the CIF Capital Markets Mechanism (CCMM). This pioneering initiative aims to unlock billions of dollars in private sector capital to accelerate the scaling of clean energy and sustainable infrastructure in emerging economies. CCMM sees the Clean Technology Fund (CTF), issue fixed-income securities to provide vital funding for such early-stage investments.

We are on the edge of a global precipice. Every day we face weather shocks, rising sea levels, and skyrocketing temperatures. We must transform our economies and societies now for both people and the planet.
The scale of finance we need is massive and public finance alone does not suffice. To keep global temperatures to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels by 2050, as envisaged by the Paris Agreement, we must mobilize six times our current funds, according to the non-profit Climate Policy Initiative. That’s about $8.5 to $10 trillion annually.
To act at the pace and scale required, key sources of finance like CTF must be rapidly scaled up. Early and accelerated investment now will make all the difference. CCMM is designed to deliver this scale.
CCMM will advance funding for programmatic investments in broad-based energy-system transformation. This means investments in renewable energy generation and integration, battery storage, coal transition, industry decarbonization and clean technology supply chains.
CCMM exemplifies CIF’s role as the world’s most pioneering climate fund. It has the potential to transform the climate finance landscape, unlocking private capital and paving the way for other multilateral funds to follow suit.
CCMM will enable a fundamental shift, unlocking an independent funding stream that is less vulnerable to policy shifts and can provide a catalyst for private sector investment in challenging economic circumstances.
By accessing international capital markets, CCMM enables the "front-loading" of benefits from the CTF loan portfolio and other investments, allowing new climate finance to be swiftly unlocked at scale, without having to wait for long-term reflows in the future.
CTF loans have a tenor of up to 40 years with a repayment moratorium of up to 10 years. To free up funds for investment now, CCMM will issue bonds secured against these loans, making finance available sooner rather than waiting for the long-term reflows.
