ASEAN-UK Green Transition Fund (GTF) Market Engagement Webinar

Join our webinar to find out how you can apply for grant funding for the Climate Policy, Green Finance, as well as Clean and Just Energy Transition Call for Proposals, within the ASEAN-UK GTF (Green Transition Fund) programme. The ASEAN-UK GTF is UK Mission to ASEAN's flagship programme on climate and environment. This programme is delivered through the UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transition (UK PACT) mechanism. At this webinar, we will provide further details on the programme, including the process and requirements of the application. Please note that this event will be hosted in English.

Who is this event for?

Organisations with relevant experience in delivering technical assistance and capacity-building projects in the areas of climate policy, green finance, as well as clean and just energy transition are invited to attend our market engagement webinar. Profit and non-for-profit organisations can apply as the lead organisation. Government entities including ASEAN Secretariat are not eligible to receive ASEAN-UK GTF funding, but their priorities inform the focus of the call for proposals.

To be eligible for funding, each proposal must respond to one of the work packages below:  

Pillar I: Climate policy and institutional capacity development

• Work Package 1.1: Strengthening NDCs planning and preparing for Article 6 implementation 
• Work Package 1.2: Capacity building, peer to peer learning for relevant working groups in ASEAN 
• Work Package 1.3: Regional centre of excellence for MRV
• Work Package 1.4: Regional Skills and capacity strategy for climate mitigation   
  

Pillar II: Green finance

• Work Package 2.1: Brokerage, networking and matchmaking for investment 
• Work Package 2.2: Carbon pricing mechanism study and simulation  
• Work Package 2.3: Empowering and enabling funders and financiers   
• Work Package 2.4: Cross cutting project preparation across ASEAN

Pillar III: Clean and just energy transition

• Work Package 3.1: Enhancing grid resilience and clean energy market transformation 
• Work Package 3.2: Advancing industrial decarbonisation

What will we be funding?

ASEAN-UK GTF expects that each project proposal should focus on a single work package. Bidders can submit multiple proposals, with each proposal addressing a different work package.  These projects should work closely with the ASEAN Secretariat to ensure alignment with ASEAN strategic documents, provide benefits to the public and private sector as well as the wider communities through piloting transformational technologies and facilitating evidence-based climate mitigation action. Climate adaptation co-benefits are welcome. 

What funding is available?

Projects will be selected through a one-stage open and competitive call for proposals and will receive grants of up to £800,000 per project per financial year, with an estimated duration of 20 months.   

Projects will cover an implementation period of May 2025 until March 2027. However, we ask that bidders propose an activity delivery period from May 2025 – December 2026 (20 months). This leaves January – March 2027 for project final reporting and hand-over. The possibility of project extension will be assessed in due course.
