About E Co.
For over 26 years, our consultants have been supporting and guiding our clients to achieve low-carbon climate-resilient development. We do this through catalysing systemic transformation, helping establish strong foundations for impact. By speaking the language of many (through our technical, financial, cultural and local understanding), we work with agility to align with our clients, and at the interplay of finance and the wider context. We assess contexts and baselines, design strategies and frameworks, develop policies, programmes and projects and unlock finance for public and private sector clients, seeking to deliver low-carbon climate-resilient and sustainable growth. We lower risk, increase predictability and design for impact. Through a holistic understanding and deep experience working with climate funds, our 99% success rate in unlocking climate finance has led to our direct support for the successful mobilisation of over USD 6.1 billion of climate finance from global climate funds, including the GCF, GEF and Adaptation Fund. Our work has enabled us to collaborate with local governments around the world, where we’ve supported NDC alignment and implementation, policy development, capacity building, and other national to subnational priorities. Through this work, we’ve supported several government entities including: Ministry of Environment Armenia, Ministry of Finance Serbia, Ministry of Local Government Bangladesh, Ministry of Finance and Public Credit of Finance (SHCP) Mexico, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) Mexico, Ministry of Agriculture Croatia. To support our country-driven, locally-led approach, we design and deliver bespoke training and capacity-building courses worldwide, for public and private sector institutions, with an aim to further global skills and understanding of international finance mechanisms and how to access them – specifically the Green Climate Fund (GCF).
