After four years in Mexico, the Financing Low Carbon Infrastructure in Cities (FELICITY) project closes its activities with a bang in June 2022, by holding stakeholder sessions with representatives of the municipality of Naucalpan, the government of Mexico City and the Investment Unit of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP). During the sessions, the documents produced during the technical assistance with the counterparts were officially handed over.

FELICITY also co-organised the third virtual dialogue culminating in the Green and Inclusive Finance Festival 2022. This is the graphic report of the FELICITY session:

The video Felicity in one word was launched, which integrates the perspectives of several FELICITY partners around the world.

 

 

As a legacy of FELICITY, the document Story of Change generated by the FELICITY Global Project in Mexico was prepared, and the free online PreP course remains, which is still open and continues to allow the registration of new users interested in learning more about the preparation of low carbon projects:

During the 11 sessions that addressed the topic of preparing successful investment projects (PreP), 2,149 attendees participated, covering 18 countries and 674 people enrolled in the online course, with 352 women participating.

The sessions were held from September 2 to November 11, 2020, in a joint effort between the Global FELICITY Program and various programs related to climate finance and low-carbon projects in cities where GIZ participates –as well as government agencies, and national, regional and international organizations. The webinar series was held with the purpose of promoting the realization of sustainable and resilient projects, as well as closing the gap between low-carbon urban infrastructure projects and the financing required for their implementation.

In addition to the webinars, the PreP includes an online course that complements the information shared by the specialists. Also, those who complete the course obtain a certificate.

This online course remains open and continues to allow enrollment of new users interested in learning more about low carbon project preparation. In addition, it is completely free.
