Supporting the innovative climate projects of Minas Gerais municipalities

BDMG, which finances the sustainable development projects of municipalities, is the main project beneficiary. The investments or studies supported by this operation primarily target projects which reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the energy, waste management and urban transport sectors, or reduce the vulnerability of territories to current and future climate risks, such as droughts and flooding. The partnership with BDMG involves a technical cooperation program based on three themes:Capacity building for BDMG for the evaluation of projects and their impacts,Awareness-raising and support actions for municipalities, with the aim of creating and implementing projects for the adaptation of territories to climate change or the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions,The identification of innovative projects which meet the objectives of theTerritorial Climate-Energy Plan of the State of Minas Gerais, which was defined in 2014 in the context of a partnership with the Nord-Pas-de-Calais-Picardie Region, French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME) and AFD.
