Mobilising More for Climate (MoMo4C) is a five-year programme (2019 – 2024) of IUCN Netherlands, WWF Netherlands and Tropenbos International, funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It brings together entrepreneurs, companies, policymakers, investors, civil society organisations and local entrepreneurs to make green business propositions that tackle the impacts and causes of climate change at the landscape level in developing countries, and to attract investments to implement these initiatives.

The initiative contributes to healthy and thriving landscapes in Cameroon, Ghana, Indonesia, Uganda, and Zambia. The mission is to originate bankable projects to attract private and public sector investments. MoMo4C’s main objective is to develop thriving economic green zones that benefit everyone, in various ways:

MoMo4C’s technical assistance mechanism is used to incentivise for-profit companies, social enterprises, and local communities and entrepreneurs to start or scale existing operations.
