E Co. bites | Series 4
Welcome to our 4th series of E Co. bites! We share short and easily digestible climate finance explainers, technical lessons, and more about us, our work, and how you can support our mission.
In this episode, our Head of Consulting, Beverley Salmon, provides an overview of E Co’s portfolio and how we support public and private sector clients in accessing climate finance. Beverley also shares insights into transformational projects across energy, agriculture, infrastructure, and more—ranging from indigenous-led initiatives in the Amazon to reef-to-ridge projects in Asia.

TRANSCRIPT
Our portfolio is anchored in supporting public and private sector clients accessing climate finance from large funds. These include the Green Climate Fund, the Global Environment Facility, the Adaptation Fund and the Mitigation Action Facility, to name a core few. We also deliver complementary services such as strategic advice, policy development, and market assessments, that enable our clients around the climate finance landscape.
We have been excited to work on some truly transformational assignments across multiple sectors, be it energy, agriculture, landscape management, infrastructure, food security, livelihoods, health and social security. And are proud of the contributions towards a paradigm shift in the climate landscape. This has included ground breaking work with indigenous peoples in the Amazon, reef-to-ridge projects in Asia and advancing forest infrastructure and creating sustainable jobs for rural communities in Armenia.
Capacity building features at every step of the way and we provide training services to national governments, development institutions, UN agencies and more.
Alongside all this our consulting team has been delivering multiple evaluations where we assess projects either at the start of their journey, or in mid-term and terminal evaluations; it is essential that projects are held to account through implementation, but also that we take this learning to ensure it is built on in future programmes.
