Mobilization of climate finance and results-based finance
Time
Venue
Room IFW A 32.1
8092 Zürich
At the Z-CMA event, among others we will address the following questions: How can we achieve sustainable climate finance at scale? What are the key barriers and hurdles to meet this goal? What role to play for public sector and the business community in Switzerland and other OECD member states?
Since 2016, international climate policy is based on the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. According to Article 9 of this treaty, developed countries shall provide financial resources to assist developing countries with respect to both mitigation and adaptation. Climate finance should be mobilized from a wide variety of sources, instruments and channels, and through a variety of actions. The aim is making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low GHG emissions and climate-resilient development (Art. 2). Parties therefore agreed on reaching a goal of jointly mobilizing USD 100 billion annually by 2020. Cooperative approaches, like joint mitigation projects and programmes, remain a crucial part of the international climate regime (Art. 6).
