This presentation included strategic recommendations aimed at empowering G20 nations to maximize their investments in NbS.

🚜 Worldwide agricultural production is increasing through modernization, intensification of production, and transition to low-carbon agriculture. In Brazil, however, production growth remains associated with land expansion. 📄The new study by Climate Policy Initiative/PUC-Rio shows that 31% of properties with deforestation received subsidized rural credit between 2020 and 2022. The volume of this credit associated with deforestation amounted to R$ 14 billion per year during this period. Moreover, the majority of deforestation (74%) is concentrated in the top 5% of properties receiving subsidized credit. Public resources are essential for developing a modern and sustainable agriculture in Brazil. 🌱 📌 With the launch of the new Brazilian Agricultural Plan (Plano Safra), CPI/PUC-Rio emphasizes the importance of evaluating the direction of rural credit subsidies and investing in promoting sustainability in the agricultural sector. 🔗 Visit bit.ly/CreditDeforestation for more information #ruralcredit #climatefinance #sustainableagriculture

In partnership with the Institute for Climate and Society, Climate Policy Initiative is supporting the Brazilian Presidency to inform the G20 Sustainable Finance track. Yesterday in Belém, my colleagues and I had the privilege of presenting our initial work on financial instruments that have mobilized capital towards nature-based solutions. Early lessons from these cases can help identify key ingredients for scaling finance for such initiatives, which is one of the G20’s priorities. Thanks to all participants of the workshop for excellent feedback! Maria Netto Asger Garnak CONCITO G20 Brasil 2024

Are #PDBs Paris-aligned? Many public development banks (PDBs), particularly those in emerging markets and developing economies, are yet to implement a framework that aligns with the Paris Agreement. This report published by CPI and I4CE - Institut de l'économie pour le climat / Institute for Climate Economics evaluates the main approaches adopted by financial institutions, and identifies the key operational benchmarks used to support their implementation. 🔍 Learn more: https://bit.ly/3xrRWC3 #parisagreement #climatefinance #publicdevelopmentbanks

🏢🌳 With nearly 70% of the world’s population expected to live in urban areas by 2050, city governments must anchor the building sector transition. But how? This report applies network analysis to examine the interdependencies between 75 policy and finance instruments, as well as 22 barriers, to support the transition to net zero carbon buildings. ➡ Swipe to learn more and read the full report: https://lnkd.in/d-aXFFqf #climatefinance #netzero #justtransition #cities #climatechange

Incredibly proud of the impact CCFLA achieved in 2023 and their continued efforts in bridging the investment gap for urban subnational climate projects and infrastructure worldwide.
#CCFLAImpact | What happens when we drive a collective effort, rooted in knowledge, collaboration, and advocacy empowerment for accelerating urban climate finance? In 2023, CCFLA produced 8 knowledge products: 6 reports and 2 blogs, including the major report ‘Accelerating Urban Climate Finance in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: An important strategic dimension of MDB reform.’ We also welcomed 3 new members in 2023 for a total of 84 members including 41 enablers, 26 supply side, 11 demand side, and 6 policymakers. Every year, our members produce a wide-range of informational materials that respond to the many challenges faced by cities while accessing climate financing.

🌱 At a time when our world could be tipping over into an economy of scarcity, resources are more than ever an economic and geopolitical issue. The current imperative of environmental #transition is bound to shake up the structure of global supply and demand. In particular, the shift in demand towards #renewable energies is already creating new bottlenecks, as in the case of cobalt and lithium. This mounting concern over #resources #scarcity calls into question our consumption patterns and calls for dedicated technological responses to support consumption that is more sensible in terms of non-renewable resources. 🤝Join our Indonesia Director Tiza Mafira and an international cohort of esteemed economists as they closely examine the challenge of resources scarcity at the 2024 Aix-en-Provence Economic Forum organized by Le Cercle des économistes. 👉 Follow the discussion as it goes live tomorrow: https://lnkd.in/e57yrJE3

🏦 Public development banks (PDBs) can play a key role in tackling climate change if they align their operations with the Paris Agreement. A new report by CPI and I4CE - Institut de l'économie pour le climat / Institute for Climate Economics outlines a broad approach for PDBs to do so, and explores tools for implementation. It also provides recommendations on PDB action to support recipient countries’ low-emission climate-resilient development pathways, as well as engagement with net-zero portfolio methodologies. 🗎 ✨ Read the report: https://bit.ly/3xrRWC3 #PDB #ParisAgreement #climatefinance #greeningfinance
