fondemission

Fondemission is a neologism used in some policy and finance discussions to denote a fund dedicated to activities that advance a defined mission, particularly those linked to reducing emissions or achieving sustainability goals. It is not a standardized term in mainstream financial glossaries and its precise meaning varies by context.

The word appears to combine elements of fund and emission (often in French contexts where émission means emissions or issuing). In practice, fondemission describes a vehicle to pool capital from public, private, or philanthropic sources to support projects, grants, or investments aligned with a mission.

In climate finance, it may fund energy efficiency, renewable energy deployment, or forest conservation; in corporate or public-sector settings, it can support research, community programs, or policy pilots aligned with an organization’s mission.

Typical features include explicit eligibility criteria, transparent governance, impact reporting, and accountability measures. Critics note potential ambiguity around scope and risk of mission drift or greenwashing without strong oversight.

Because the term is not standardized, readers should refer to the specific program or document using fondemission to understand its definitions and requirements.
