Can Domestic Climate Funds Finance Durable Removals?
A COP31 fireside chat at the Think Negative Pavilion, hosted by Green Protocol: lessons from designing Nigeria's Climate Change Fund Framework, and how domestic climate funds could mobilise blended capital for durable carbon dioxide removal in the Global South.
Could existing domestic climate funds unlock new financing opportunities for durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in the Global South?
Join us at the Think Negative Pavilion at COP31 for a fireside chat hosted by Green Protocol, exploring how domestic climate financing mechanisms, such as Nigeria's Climate Change Fund (CCF), could provide a practical pathway for mobilising blended capital for durable removals.
Drawing on Green Protocol and GCA Capital Partners' experience developing Nigeria's five-year CCF roadmap, with support from the African Climate Foundation, the conversation will unpack real-world lessons on:
- Fund design
- Investor expectations
- Financing barriers
- Verification standards
- Investment de-risking
The goal? Move beyond financing discussions to identify actionable steps for integrating durable removals into Africa's emerging climate finance architecture.
