Climate change finance is at the centre of global efforts to mitigate climate change. The scientific community agrees that current efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are far from sufficient to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. To combat climate change effectively, significant investment is needed in climate-friendly technologies, renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure and adaptation measures in vulnerable regions. However, the question of how and by whom to raise sufficient funds for effective action remains unanswered.
Finding funding for climate change projects is proving to be very complex. Developed countries have a responsibility not only to reduce their own emissions but also to provide financial support to developing countries, which are often the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This raises the issue of fairness and equity.
Financial instruments such as the United Nations Green Climate Fund have been set up to provide funds for developing and emerging countries. But the money pledged so far falls far short of what is needed. Greater cooperation between governments, international organisations and the private sector is needed to mobilise the necessary financial resources.
Climate change finance is not only an environmental challenge, but also a social and economic one. It requires a redefinition of global priorities and a reallocation of resources towards a sustainable future for all.
Join us and discuss the various options for climate finance with our experts.
