IDB Invest and Canada launched the second phase of the Canadian Climate Fund for the Private Sector in the Americas (C2F) project, a mixed climate finance program with a gender focus for Latin America and the Caribbean. It is expected to leverage up to US$1 billion in private sector investments in areas such as renewable energy, sustainable agriculture and forestry to help the region’s most vulnerable population segments, especially women and young girls, to better prepare and adapt to climate change.
