International Finance Corporation (IFC): Driving Sustainable Investment

ImplementaSur has supported IFC with technical and strategic analysis to identify climate investment opportunities in Latin America. Through two distinct projects, one focused on the voluntary carbon market in infrastructure, and the other on green fertilizers in Paraguay, we delivered key insights to guide sustainable investment decisions. These studies provide evidence to help direct finance toward strategic, emerging sectors aligned with climate and sustainable development goals.

Service We assessed emerging markets to mobilize climate finance and accelerate low-carbon infrastructure.

Approach and Project Implementation

In the infrastructure study, we analyzed over 30 project categories in energy, transport, water, and waste, prioritizing those with high potential to generate high-integrity carbon credits. We assessed additionality, risks, and international standards (such as VCS and Gold Standard), and developed practical case studies to inform investment decisions.

In Paraguay, we carried out a market assessment of green fertilizers, mapping key stakeholders and evaluating national and international competitiveness and demand. We developed strategies to close price gaps and encourage private sector investment. Both projects combined market analysis, technical evaluation, and financial recommendations aimed at accelerating climate action.

ImplementaSur’s Strategic Vision

These projects reflect ImplementaSur’s role as a trusted technical partner for global institutions seeking to accelerate the transition to low-carbon economies. Our work brings together sectoral analysis, regional insight, and a strong understanding of international frameworks to facilitate sustainable investments.

In a context where coordinated, urgent climate action is essential -especially in the financial sector-, we support organizations like IFC in identifying opportunities for financing, development, and sustainability across sectors such as energy, transport, and agriculture.
