Climate and Clean Air Coalition: Technical Assistance For Brick Kiln Financing In Bangladesh
This project provides technical assistance to local actors in Bangladesh to address the barriers that limit access to financing for modern brick kilns and upgrades. The initiative aims to facilitate adoption of cleaner and more efficient brick production technologies by improving knowledge, capacity, and access to financial mechanisms among kiln owners, banks, and other stakeholders. By doing so, it seeks to promote environmentally sustainable practices, reduce emissions, and support safer and more productive kiln operations.
