I4CE takes action in Tunisia to raise awareness in the banking sector

12 July 2018 - Blog post - By : Romain HUBERT

On Wednesday 11 July in Tunis, Romain Hubert, climate finance specialist at I4CE, participated in a climate risks and opportunities training day for banking sector actors.

 

This followed the participation of Benoit Leguet and Pierre Ducret in a lunch-debate on 18 June to raise awareness of climate change issues among the banking sector, and to discuss the consequences of the implementation of the Paris Agreement.

 

These two events were organized by the United Nations Development Programme, the National Agency for Energy Conservation, and the Tunisian Professional Association of Banks and Financial Institutions.

    Bridging the gap: high-level climate & development finance commitments and the reality on the ground

    The 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) in Seville represents a milestone for delivering on development (including climate action) goals, a decade after the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. The “Seville Commitment” was adopted on June 30th, albeit in the absence of the United States – demonstrating that widespread support remains for a comprehensive package to finance development. However, the outcome also embodies the growing chasm between high-level commitments and the reality of financing for development and climate action on the ground. Recent research by I4CE attempts to bridge this gap on two crucial issues.

    How can financial intermediation better contribute to the climate transition?

    This report aims to support better use of financial intermediation by public development banks (PDBs) providing international development finance, helping PDBs work better together as a system, with a common understanding of where they contribute the most to low-emissions and climate-resilient development. It mainly focuses on financial intermediation through on-lending to public (government-owned) financial institutions in developing countries.

    Public development banks: towards higher climate ambition

    Next week, representatives of public development banks and their stakeholders will gather in Cape Town for the 5th Finance in Common Summit (FiCS), to discuss how public development banks can align all their activities with the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, and the Global Biodiversity Framework. As the global network of public development banks, Finance in Common represents about 10% of total global development investments each year, which must all align with sustainable development pathways. This year, the discussions at FiCS will take place while South Africa hosts the first meeting of the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors, with a focus on solidarity, equality, and sustainability.
