DecarBOOST: Catalyzing investment to decarbonize Latin America

DecarBOOST is a three-year project launched in 2020 to support the Latin American region, and three countries in particular, Argentina, Brazil and Peru, to catalyze the transition towards a low-carbon society and promote financial flows consistent with resilient, sustainable development.

DecarBoost is sponsored by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). The project is led by SouthSouthNorth (South Africa) and implemented by Centro Clima – Universidad Federal de Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Libélula Comunicación Ambiente y Desarrollo (Peru), NewClimate Institute (Germany) and Fundación Torcuato Di Tella (Argentina).

The DecarBOOST project aims to:

• • Contribute significantly to the development of the next generations of NDCs and as part of the ambition mechanism of the Paris Agreement;
  • Promote dialogue between public and private sector stakeholders to analyze barriers to mitigation actions, propose effective instruments to overcome these, and develop sectorial investment portfolios; and,
  • To disseminate information and results at the national level to strengthen the scope of the project and provide relevant information to key stakeholders on decarbonization trends and opportunities.

The DecarBOOST Community of Practice:

The Community of Practice (CoP) provides a meeting space that merges the world of climate and sustainability, with finance and investment. The CoP consists of members, primarily from the Latin American region, particularly:

• • Actors involved in sustainable finance and investment (banks, investment agencies, funds, insurance, from the public and private world), and
  • Actors who promote and support sustainable finance in the region (Think Tanks, international cooperations, regulators, unions).
