In a world where financing climate transition has become a pervasive challenge, Data-to-Deal offers a practical and holistic approach to supporting countries through the process of defining locally owned and grounded transition pathways and mobilizing associated finance.
Data-to-Deal was co-developed by CCG and around 40 international partner organisations based on successful experiences in Latin America, where it rapidly led to the mobilisation of US$11 billion of concessional finance for Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Chile and Uruguay.
The existing impact, and potential for future scaling, of Data-to-Deal were recently recognized by the prestigious GCBC Accelerator Award at the New York Climate Action Week.
Data-to-Deal has become both a powerful rallying cry and an important organizing framework

for CCG’s engagement with countries in the Global South.
First, D2D is now being applied on the African continent. Thanks to a close partnership with 2050 Pathways and the French Development Agency (AFD), intensive country engagements are currently underway in Botswana and Uganda to develop these countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions.
They are following the D2D approach that integrates intensive political facilitation and stakeholder engagement with robust and deliberative approaches to modelling country transition pathways.
Second, to support wider uptake and implementation of the approach, CCG is launching a suite of seven best practice policy briefs. This collection represents the most comprehensive and authoritative guidance to date on the practical steps needed to implement the D2D approach. Packed with real world examples and links to further resources, the briefs are set to become an invaluable reference for practitioners interested in following this approach. The series provides practical advice to governments and their partners on how to integrate D2D into national planning and financing processes.
The primary audience for these briefs includes energy and transport policymakers in LMICs at national and subnational levels, as well as development partners and international organisations that provide technical and financial support. The guidance applies to both mitigation and adaptation priorities, while recognising that the balance between them will differ across country contexts.
This series is of briefs has been produced in collaboration with over 20 international partner organisations, and contributors from LMIC countries, to reflect a collective perspective on how best to leverage investment for climate-aligned energy and transport transitions.
Data-to-Deal will be a central focus of CCG’s presence at COP30,
