Rome Centre for Climate Action and Energy Transition The central purpose of the Rome Centre is to ensure the effective implementation and further development of the strategic partnership between UNDP and the government of Italy across the objectives of sustainable development and in doing so advancing the broader partnership between UNDP and G7 and G20 countries.

The Rome Centre focuses on the critical policy areas of youth engagement in climate action, energy for development and climate finance. These objectives are pursued through the effective implementation of three initial main programmes: the Technical Assistance and Investment Support Facility, the Italy-UNDP Energy Partnership and Youth4Climate.

The Technical Assistance and Investment Support Facility aims to mobilise finance for climate, energy and environment. Specifically, the Facility aims to originate projects that contribute to the decarbonization efforts of developing economies and to their transition to climate-resilient economies. The Energy for Growth initiative aims to promote access to sustainable energy in developing countries, contributing to SDG7. Youth4Climate promotes youth engagement in climate action, contributing to SDG13. The Rome Centre also has a broader mandate to engage with the Italian ecosystem as a whole, involving close collaboration with key actors in the public and private sector. Delivering on its programmes, the Rome Centre will provide support to the international cooperation efforts of Italy and it will support UNDP's global policy initiatives.
