OBJECTIVE: mobilise additional financing from other sources, both private and publics for
achieving EU external policy objectives, complementary to other aid modalities and pursuing
the relevant regional, national and overarching policy priorities. Blending is the combination
of EU grants with loans or equity from public and private financiers. EU regional blending
facilities have been established in all regions of EU external cooperation.
ENGAGEMENTS: 2014 – 2020: expected volumes € 2 billion in grant finance, mobilising
about € 50 billion.

Examples of EU-ASEAN Projects 2014-2020
Sustainable Use of Peatlands and Haze
Mitigation in ASEAN (SUPA)
Purpose:
To improve sustainable peatland management, mitigate
the adverse impact of climate change and manage the
risk and reduce of trans-boundary regional haze in
ASEAN.
Results:
1) Enhanced capacity and identification of ASEAN
peatland areas characterized by their degradation
rate and their potential for rehabilitation and
conservation;
2) Significantly reduced peatland fires and associated
haze through fire prevention and peatland
rehabilitation;

ASEAN.
Results (continued…):
3) Integrated management of targeted peatlands to
maintain ecological functions and biodiversity and
reduce GHG emissions;
4) Peatlands are sustainably managed to enhance
livelihood and maintain economic value.

Global Climate Change Alliance: GCCA+
•
•
•
Platform for dialogue and exchange of experience between the EU and developing
countries,
Focus on climate resilience and adaptation
Technical and financial support for world's most climate-vulnerable countries
Scaling up : from €300 to € 350 million by 2020= one of the largest climate initiatives!
The GCCA+ focuses its technical support on five priority areas:
•
Mainstreaming climate change into poverty reduction and development efforts
•
Adaptation
•
Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD)
•
Enhancing participation in mitigation efforts
•
Disaster risk reduction
Climate action - ASEAN
NAMA Facility: nationally appropriate mitigation
actions
• Indonesia Sustainable Urban Transport
Program Indonesia (NAMA SUTRI) -It is
estimated that GHG emissions can be reduced by
0.6 to 1.5 million tons CO2e per year in 2020
• Thailand Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
NAMA (RAC NAMA) - cut emissions by 19.4
million tonnes CO2eq over the lifetime of the
equipment. Equivalent annual reduction by 2030 =
6.4 per cent or 46 million tonnes CO2eq
