Climate Policy Initiative

🏦 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

CCFLA is proud to announce that initiatives participating in the Leadership for Urban Climate Investment (LUCI) platform have surpassed two of our 2025 targets.    Together, LUCI initiatives have committed to supporting over 2,000 cities with capacity building and developing more than 1,000 bankable climate infrastructure projects.

🌾 Despite their critical position in food production, emissions, and climate vulnerability, small-scale farmers receive a meager share of climate finance. Mitigation finance for small-scale agrifood systems reached USD 1 billion, or 17% of the total, equivalent to 0.2% of global climate mitigation finance across all sectors. 95% of the world’s small-scale farms are concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia and the Pacific, and South Asia. These are some of the most climate-vulnerable regions. It is vital for mitigation interventions to integrate adaptation and resilience measures, in line with just transition principles.

🔥 Failing to address climate change will yield monumental future costs for disaster relief, conflict mitigation, humanitarian aid, and mass human migration. There is still much work to be done to reduce uncertainty on total costs of climate inaction. However, the data we do have already sends the message loud and clear – turning up the fire hose now can help quell the towering blaze of future costs.

🤝 Just transition: the shift from an extractive to a regenerative economy through an equitable process. It is key to map the broad socio-economic implications of these changes, developing policy interventions, investment plans, financial mechanisms, and community engagement accordingly. CPI’s Just Transition work identifies pathways for sustainable development that accounts for the impacts on all actors involved. This includes workers and communities, public and private employers, governments, financial institutions.

Sub-Saharan Africa received 31% (USD 11 billion) of international adaptation finance in 2021/2022. However, analysis of African countries’ collective Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans suggests that the continent needs at least USD 52 billion, or 2.5% of Africa’s GDP per year, to meet its adaptation goals by 2030. International support must scale at least five-fold by 2030 - and the private sector has an important role to play in bridging this gap.
