determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement.
Up to now, many NAMA support initiatives have focused
on the preparation of NAMAs and the creation of enabling
environments for NAMA implementation (»NAMA readiness«).
International fi nance and support for the implementation of
NAMAs, particularly in the case of highly innovative NAMAs,
has been rare so far. Tailor-made climate fi nance – including
public finance on the part of international donors – is required
to foster the implementation of highly ambitious NAMAs.
It is the objective of the NAMA Facility to fi ll this gap.
A coffee plant produces coffee for more than 40 years,
but after 20 years its productivity declines.
Costa Rica’s coffee plantations stretch along the country’s mountain range, covering more than 90,000 hectares between 600 and 1,600 meters above sea level.
20% are situated in areas of biocorridors. The coffee
sector comprises 50,000 producers, 172 coffee mills, 57
exporters and 37 coffee toasters, representing 8 % of the
Costa Rican workforce.

that serve to mobilise low-carbon investments on the ground.
Technical assistance, institutional capacity development

financial instruments. The wise combination of technical and
financial support will help to maximise the transformational
