Check out this new consultation paper, which proposes new “Green Accountability” practices that give domestic institutions, local communities, and civil society groups a central role in climate finance disbursement. This would improve transparency, ensure funding responds to needs on the ground, and build trust at all levels of international climate finance.    “There is a huge trust deficit. We urgently need to boost accountability and transparency across climate finance ecosystems to address this imbalance, creating local-led approaches that will mobilise billions of dollars into projects in the Global South and support climate projects across the globe.” — Bogolo Joy Kenewendo, Africa Director & Special Advisor of the United Nations High Level Climate Champions Team. #GreenAccountability #ClimateChange #ClimateAction https://lnkd.in/ec8Vdjmz

🌍 Failure is not an option! UNFCCC negotiators must act NOW for just and fair climate finance. After two intense weeks in Bonn at the #SB60, CIDSE's take on the UNFCCC negotiations is in: while there are gaps in global climate action, we're committed to keep advocating for bold, transformative steps toward the 1.5°C Paris Agreement goal. This journey demands political will, international solidarity, and significant public finance, but with a collective effort, we will be able to secure equity and justice at the center of all climate negotiations 🌿✊ Read the full reaction here ➡ https://lnkd.in/ewbHXUBU

📢 Our latest report with Recourse and Inclusive Development International just launched, exposing how the IFC - International Finance Corporation financial intermediaries fund captive coal projects in Indonesia. This research marks a crucial point in global climate action, underscoring the MDBs' role in redirecting finance away from harmful activities. As the world pursues sustainability, it's clear that backing coal, especially captive projects, conflicts with carbon neutrality and sustainable development goals.🔍🌍 Three MDBs, The World Bank Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) still backing fossil fuel projects, and going against global carbon reduction goals, maintaining reliance on non-renewable resources. Our report proposes practical steps to improve MDB policies on 'captive' coal financing. These include enhancing transparency, accountability, and a gradual divestment from coal projects. By implementing these recommendations, MDBs can pioneer the global energy transition and support the goals of the Paris Agreement. IFC - International Finance Corporation and The World Bank must urgently close policy loopholes to end finance for all forms of coal power.⚠️⚡ More here👉 https://lnkd.in/g8wdaNtB

Learn more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gFNPBcfi. Organized by UN Environment Programme, UNDP, UN Climate Change and the NDC Partnership, the NDCs 3.0 Regional Fora will help countries align the next round of their climate commitments with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees C and increasing resilience to climate impacts. NDCs 3.0 Regional Fora will take place in: 📍The Pacific: 12-16 Aug., Samoa 📍Latin America & Caribbean: 27-29 Aug., Colombia 📍Eastern Europe & Central Asia: 3-5 Sep., Türkiye 📍Middle East & North Africa: 23-25 Sep., Tunisia 📍Asia: 30 Sep-2 Oct., Thailand 📍Africa: 7-9 Oct., Rwanda Meeting a 1.5-degree target requires reducing global #GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 and urgent, country-driven adaptation backed by appropriate finance. About the fora: ✅ The fora will use insights from COP28 and the Global Stocktake to focus on mitigation options, adaptation solutions and the inclusion of super pollutants in #NDCs. ✅ Participants will engage in peer learning, explore financing models and develop policy roadmaps for implementation. ✅ As climate change drives nature and biodiversity loss, the fora will encourage countries to align climate targets with commitments on nature, pollution and sustainable development in their NDCs. The NDCs 3.0 Regional Fora are organized in collaboration with partners including the UNEP-convened Climate & Clean Air Coalition, UN-REDD Programme, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and regional partners like Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), United Nations APDIM-ESCAP , United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
