ClimaSouth pursues investments in capacity development promoting access to climate finance in the Mediterranean region. Three training sessions were held during the months of October and early November, in Tunisia (09 – 10 October), Jordan (15 – 19 October) and Morocco (01 – 03 November 2017). The sessions were organized in collaboration, respectively with the Ministry of local Planning and Environment and the Observatoire du Sahara (OSS) et du Sahel in Tunisa; the Ministry of Environment in Jordan and the Confederation Generale des Enterprise du Maroc (CGEM) in Morocco. The training was tailored according to the profile and capacity of audiences in the three countries, and their time availability.

A total of eight projects were identified during the three sessions, spanning from climate resilient agriculture in Tunisia to black carbon in Jordan, to industrial water re-usage in Morocco. The support provided by ClimaSouth aims at the development of concept notes for eligible projects while facilitating access to funds through a combination of hands on training, write shops and remote assistance. The concept notes for the projects elaborated during the course of the three training sessions will be finalized and presented to interested financiers, with a view to developing full project proposals for funding.

The ClimaSouth project supports climate action in South Mediterranean countries, assisting with the transition towards low carbon economies and enhanced climate resilience. It was initiated in 2013 and is funded by the European Union. Key stakeholders include technical government departments at operational and policy level, decision makers and civil society representatives.
