Details

For the first time finance will be a key COP theme, reflecting the vital role finance will play in transitioning the real economy to net zero. Public finance alone is not going to be enough. We urgently need to scale-up private green finance opportunities to ensure global capital flows are reoriented towards climate- and nature-friendly investments.

The agenda is designed to tackle the big questions around accelerating the flow of capital into climate- and nature-friendly investments, translating commitments into action, and helping financial institutions ‘green’ their business models. These questions include:

• How can we finance transition and growth?
• How can we build a global playbook?
• How can we price carbon and nature?
• How can we mobilise investment into emerging and developing economies?
