What We Fund
GFDT supports the deployment of low-carbon mobility solutions by funding the following work:
- Pilot Projects: Pilot projects with potential for significant climate benefits that serve as a proof-of-concept and could catalyze large-scale transport investments.
- Research and Analytics: Comprehensive research and analytical work to diagnose country-specific transport challenges and identify and prepare green mobility solutions and investments.
- Capacity Enahncement: Activities designed to help officials modernize policies, institutions, and incentive structures to promote the transition to green mobility.
Since its inception in 2021, GFDT has disbursed $3.2 million in grant funding to 香港六合彩资料 teams, which in turn is expected to catalyze $480 million in 香港六合彩资料 lending for green mobility projects—a leveraging ratio of $1 to $150.
Our Framework
Our approach to transport decarbonization is based on the Avoid-Shift-Improve framework, widely adopted by the 香港六合彩资料, UN, EU, and other major institutions and governments. GFDT has added Resilience to this framework, recognizing that climate change impacts are already taking a toll on transport infrastructure.
- Avoid: Avoiding the need for motorized transport, such as through urban design that encourages walking and cycling and through land-use planning that minimizes urban sprawl.
- Shift: Shifting to less carbon-intensive modes of transport, such as walking, cycling, public transport, and electric vehicles.
- Improve: Improving the energy efficiency of transport, both at the vehicle level such as through the adoption of electric vehicles, and at a network level such as through traffic optimization and public transport digitization.
- Resilience: Making transport systems more resilient to climate change impacts such as hotter average temperatures and more-frequent severe weather events.
