Content

In the order a learner meets it. Each block is a separate thing to write, and their order is the lecture's argument.

  1. Block 1 · text

    Every source has an objective

    A climate fund is not a bank and does not want what a bank wants. Reading the objective a source is accountable for - emissions avoided, adaptation benefit, private capital mobilised - tells you which parts of a project to lead with, and which will simply be tolerated.

  2. Block 2 · text

    Grant, concessional, commercial: pick correctly

    A grant-appropriate project pitched to a commercial lender reads as unbankable; a revenue-generating project pitched only for grant funding wastes the strongest thing it has. Matching the finance type to the project's actual cash flow is decided before the proposal is drafted, not during review.
