Global Q&A Session: CIF’s Industry Decarbonization Program and Application Process

The Climate Investment Funds held a Q&A session to help address queries from prospective eligible country applicants on CIF's Industry Decarbonization Program and the application process linked to a recently launched Call for Expressions of Interest (EoIs). The virtual session was held on November 1, 2024 from 8:00 to 9:00am ET.

CIF launched the EoIs for the Industry Decarbonization Program on October 3, 2024, during the 15th Clean Energy Ministerial in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil.

The Industry Decarbonization Program will invest in pioneering low-carbon pathways in developing countries for heavy-emitting industries, notably clean technology supply chains. It is designed to spur innovation, prove nascent technologies, and advance a just transition to zero-carbon economies.

Eligible countries, with their multilateral development bank partners, are invited to submit EoIs on or before January 17, 2025. In recognition of the critical role of the private sector in industry decarbonization, countries may opt to apply jointly with a private sector organization.

The audience for the Q&A session included government officials, our multilateral development bank partners, and relevant private sector entities.
