Two months before the launch of the 21th Conference of Parties (COP 21), I4CE and the FMDV, in partnership with the Climate KIC, the City of Paris, the French Development Agency, the Caisse des Dépôts and PUCA, organized a conference on mitigation and adaption to climate change at local level.

Through workshops, this event will highlight financing tools available for cities, shared the experiences of practitioners and fostered discussion among participants.

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.
