COP29 Official Side Event – Delivering on Volume and Impact for Climate Finance and Investment to Support 1.5°C Aligned NDCs

Webinars - By : Claire ESCHALIER / Diana CÁRDENAS MONAR

Date : November 15th, 2024 

 

Time: 16.45-18.15 (GMT+4) // 13:45-15h15 (Paris time)

 

Location: Side Event Room 2, COP 29 Venue, and online

 

Organizers: Brazilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI), Carbon Tracker Initiative, I4CE, Instituto Clima e Sociedade (ICS), World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA).

 

Making finance flows consistent with countries’ needs for their low-emission, climate-resilient development requires deep collaboration between governments, financial institutions, private companies, civil society organizations, and local communities. This event will take stock of existing and innovative tools that can be deployed to attract additional finance and enhance the impact of existing finance, in order to transform national ambitions into actionable investment plans. 

 

Achieving the goals set by the Paris Agreement, namely limiting global warming to 1.5°C, requires significant scaling up of climate finance. Many countries, particularly in the Global South, face barriers in turning their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) into actionable investment plans. This side event aims to explore both the volume and impact of climate finance and how it can be delivered to enable meaningful progress toward 1.5°C-aligned NDCs. 

 

This discussion is critical to address the current gap between the financing available and what is needed to support low-carbon development pathways. This event  will explore how innovative models like country platforms and complementary approaches such as transition plans for the private sector can bridge this gap. By bringing together finance experts, policymakers, and thought leaders, this event aims to provide actionable insights into how countries can scale climate finance for better alignment with their NDCs and maximize impact of the finance they unlock.

    COP29: From ambition to action

    This coming Monday will see the start of COP29 – formally the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in Baku, Azerbaijan. The edition is nicknamed “the finance COP” and is important on more than one account, not least as Trump’s victory likely leads to a change of course for the US on climate commitment.

    The volume and structure of the finance mobilised to support developing countries to transition to low-emission and climate-resilient economies tops the agenda.

    French Observatory of Access Conditions to the Ecological Transition, 2024 Edition

    The ecological transition can only happen if all households have access to solutions – public transport, electric vehicles, home insulation, heating upgrades, etc. The issue of the access to transition solutions is therefore crucial for climate policies. Special attention should be paid to low- and middle-income households, as the necessary investments may not be sustainable for them.

    Reframing the stranded assets narrative for European private financial institutions

    The implementation of the new banking package (or Capital Requirements Directive package) that adopts the final parts of the international Basel 3 financial regulation is underway in the European Union. The European Banking Authority (EBA) along with the other European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) is mandated to develop technical standards that provide the framework to help financial institutions comply with the new regulatory rules. Key among these standards is the novel guidance on ESG risks which is expected to be finalised by the EBA in the coming months. This is an opportune moment to address weaknesses in banks’ risk management practices, particularly regarding the underestimation of stranded asset risks, a missing angle in current policy debates.
