Request for Proposals: Unlocking Finance for Black Carbon Mitigation in Key Sectors Summary Clean Air Fund is seeking expert support to help identify and unlock finance to reduce emissions from major black carbon emitting sectors.
The scope of this Request for Proposal will involve: a) Developing and implementing a curated convening with finance actors (including Multilateral Development Banks, Development Finance Institutions, and Private Finance) and allied black carbon solutions stakeholders, and b) Using the learnings from the scoping and convening to develop a brief working paper that maps pathways and near-term opportunities to accelerate the financing of black carbon mitigation solutions. Applicants should have strong expertise and working knowledge of international, regional and national finance mechanisms as well as technical knowledge about black carbon emissions and its solutions. This RFP has been initiated by the Clean Air Fund Super Pollutants Portfolio. Interested agencies are encouraged to submit a proposal for this funding answering the requirements provided in Section 6. Proposal submission deadline: 26th June 2026, 17:00 BST. Funding amount: Up to US$ 50,000. 1. Background to Clean Air Fund and its Super Pollutants Programme Launched in 2019, Clean Air Fund is a philanthropic initiative with a mission to tackle air pollution around the world. Our aim is to help build and support a powerful global movement for clean air. We achieve this by bringing together funders, researchers, policy makers and campaigners working on a wide range of issues to find and scale solutions that will provide clean air for all. More information about Clean Air Fund can be found on our website: www.cleanairfund.org. Clean Air Fund has a programme of work targeting action on super pollutants (also known as short-lived climate pollutants). Through this work, we are supporting and advocating air pollution and climate change to be tackled together and 1 delivering high-impact projects to help mitigate near-term warming1, avoid climate tipping points2 and reduce the chronic health impacts of air pollution3. A key focus of our work on super pollutants is on black carbon (see more details here). Black carbon plays a unique role at the intersection of climate and health as both a climate pollutant and an air pollutant. It is a key component of particulate matter air pollution, and it contributes to global warming. On a regional scale, it is also responsible for disrupting precipitation patterns and accelerating melting of snow and ice. Some measures to cut emissions from black carbon-rich sources present opportunities to deliver near-term climate change mitigation, avoid climate tipping points, and achieve clean air. Clean Air Fund has launched two reports: ‘The Case for Action on Black Carbon’ and ‘Tackling Black Carbon: How to unlock fast climate and clean air benefits’, highlighting feasible solutions to reduce black carbon emissions. More information about the programme and black carbon-rich solutions is available here: Black Carbon Hub. The vision of Clean Air Fund’s three-year multi-million-dollar programme of work is to realise 35% global black carbon emissions reductions by 2030 from a 2010 baseline. As part of this program, Clean Air Fund is undertaking two complementary approaches. First, Clean Air Fund is committed to provide financial support to pilot implementation projects targeting black carbon and black carbon-rich emission sources. Second, it is working to catalyse and advocate for increased international finance, particularly from Multi-Development Banks, Development Finance Institutions, Inter-Governmental Agencies, Regional and National Banks, Philanthropy, Public and Private Finance, for black carbon mitigation solutions. 2. Context to the project Black carbon (more commonly known as soot) is a powerful climate and air pollutant and comprises of visible, dark fumes emitted from incomplete combustion of carbon-based fuels, solid waste and biomass burning. It is a short- lived climate pollutant with devastating climate and health impacts and is one of the most significant contributors to historic global warming after CO₂. Its influence extends beyond temperature rise - black carbon accelerates snow and ice melt in fragile cryosphere regions, fuels Arctic amplification, and disrupts local weather systems. From a public health perspective, black carbon exposure is linked to severe cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, adverse birth outcomes, and premature deaths. Its broader economic toll is equally staggering, contr
