Background

UNDP is the United Nations’ lead agency on international development. We support countries and communities as they work to eradicate poverty, implement the Paris Agreement on climate change and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. We advocate for transformative change, and we connect countries to the resources they need to help people build a better life. Additionally, UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in the Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan.
The UNDP Rome Centre For Climate And Energy (the “UNDP Rome Centre”) Is The Key Platform For The Strategic Engagement Between UNDP And The Italian Government. It Focuses On The Critical Policy Areas Of Climate Finance, Youth Engagement In Climate Action, And Energy For Development. These Objectives Are Pursued Through The Effective Implementation Of Its Four Main Programmes

• 
  
• PISTA (Platform for Investment Support and Technical Assistance)
  
• Youth4Climate
  
• Energy For Growth
  
• Digital Flagship
  

PISTA, the Platform for Investment Support and Technical Assistance, aims to mobilise finance for climate, energy and the environment. Specifically, PISTA aims to support projects that contribute to the decarbonisation efforts of developing economies and to their transition to climate-resilient economies, and it aims to catalise international financial resources toward these initiatives. Matching impactful projects with investors and capital providers goes hand in hand with the engagement with financial institutions - both institutional and private - at Italian and global level. In its current portfolio, PISTA is supporting 24 projects across Africa, to which it is providing technical assistance with the goal of strengthening their bankability - from developing financial models, to enhancing environmental and social impact management, to more ad hoc project support Youth4Climate promotes youth engagement in climate action, contributing to SDG13. Youth4Climate supports the implementation of youth-led and youth-inclusive solutions to environmental and climate challenges, both financially and through capacity development. It also gives young people around the world who are committed to fighting climate change a platform to engage with policymakers and global leaders.

Energy For Growth (“E4G”) aims to promote access to sustainable energy in developing countries, contributing to SDG7. The goal of the initiative is to assist partner countries in unlocking finance to scale up the diffusion of clean energy solutions, increase access to energy and boost the energy transition. E4G aims to foster the mobilization of public and private capital toward projects aligned with the international policy agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. It does so by connecting UNDP’s capacity and connections in emerging economies and developing countries with the public-private ecosystem of Italy and other G7 countries, in the crucial sector of energy.
