About the Organization

The Mitigation Action Facility is a go-to platform driving climate action across sectors. Established in 2012 as a multi-donor, grant-based programme, the MAF provides technical support and climate finance for mitigation projects.

Our focus spans three key sectors: energy, transport, and industry. Through annual competitive calls, the MAF supports the most ambitious and feasible climate change mitigation projects to implement countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement .

Aligning our annual calls with the priority sectors identified in the Breakthrough Agenda, we focus on replicable and scalable projects to transition sectors toward carbon neutrality.

About the Grant

The Mitigation Action Facility announced and launched its Call for Projects 2025 on 19 November 2024 at a high-level event at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan at the NDC Partnership Pavilion.

In the new Call, the most ambitious and feasible climate change mitigation projects are selected for funding support through a comprehensive process including the following phases: Concept Phase, Outline Phase, Detailed Preparation Phase (DPP) and Implementation Phase.

Given the focus of the Mitigation Action Facility on the three priority sectors of energy, industry and transport, the Facility can significantly contribute to initiatives such as the Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency Pledge, the Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs) and the Climate Club. Where relevant, synergies with and a clear reference to the political agreement of the JETPs as well as the consecutive papers (such as an investment plan or an implementation plan) and the Climate Club priorities on transforming industries in the respective countries are highly encouraged.

The Mitigation Action Facility continues to fund ambitious climate change mitigation projects to implement Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and long-term strategies (LTS) that are central to meeting the Paris Agreement goals. The Call for Projects 2025 will offer climate finance for the implementation of mitigation projects aligned to new ambitious NDCs due in 2025 (NDCs 3.0).
