USAID Green Invest Asia provides eligible companies that are sourcing sustainable, viable agricultural and forestry commodities from Southeast Asia with investment-readiness advisory, low-carbon business strategies, technical support, and as needed, capital matchmaking. The project’s goal is to equip low-emission land use projects with enough financial and carbon footprint analysis that they can reduce their carbon dioxide emissions equivalent by 25 million metric tons. But expanding production of climate-smart agriculture and forestry commodities, reforesting degraded land and restoring tropical wetlands all require significantly more private investment.

To unlock this needed capital, USAID Green Invest Asia has curated a network of international financial institutions seeking climate-smart investments in Southeast Asia to help them connect with, evaluate and invest in not only USAID Green Invest Asia’s business pipeline, but all sustainable land use opportunities. To achieve the latter, USAID Green Invest Asia provides bespoke advisory to financiers, including banks and fund managers, on their investment pipelines, processes and protocols with an aim to increase the capital they deploy to sustainable land use projects throughout Southeast Asia.
