COP29 Side Event – Options for Aligning International Financial Flows with Climate Objectives and Country Priorities

Webinars - By : Claire ESCHALIER / Sarah BENDAHOU

Date : November 12th, 2024 

 

Time: 9.00-10.30 (GMT+4) // 6:00-7:30 (Paris time)

 

Location: IDFC Pavilion, COP29 and online on the following page: COP29 IDFC – IDFC 

 

Organizers: I4CE, E3G

 

In collaboration with E3G and the IDFC Climate Facility, this event presents country platforms as a way to both improve the fitness-for-purpose of international climate finance relative to national priorities and to unlock more resources. 

 

The ongoing reform of the international financial architecture is placing PDBs in the spotlight as key players in mobilising and channeling resources towards low-emission and climate-resilient development, in line with country priorities. Yet, collaboration at the national and international level will be crucial in order to leverage their added value. 

 

Country platforms are increasingly being seen as part of the solution to marshal international finance, while ensuring its alignment with national priorities and climate objectives. Fostering collaboration between MDBs on specific approaches to Paris alignment is key to these platforms success. 

 

This event highlights several ways through which to improve the country-level impact of international climate and development finance, and the associated conditions for success, bringing together representatives of think-tanks and public development banks.

    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.
