Focus on Adaptation Projects: The GAIA Climate Loan Fund will allocate at least 70% of its funds to adaptation projects like sustainable agriculture and water management, while the remainder will support mitigation efforts such as renewable energy.
Impact Goals: The fund aims to benefit 19 million people, create over 11,000 jobs, and avoid 30 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually once fully deployed.
