Conferences - By : Sébastien POSTIC, Phd
  • Date: 14th November
  • Time: 13h15-14h45.
  • Location: EU Pavilion
  • Organisers: World Bank, AFD, I4CE, Ecofys, the Generation Foundation

 

Event Summary:

An increasing number of countries are exploring how carbon pricing instruments could help them meet their NDC goals. This event will look at how to use revenues generated by carbon pricing policies to support a low-carbon and climate-resilient development, from the perspective of policy makers in developing countries (World Bank Group-WBG, the Agence Française de Developpement-AFD and I4CE) as well as of entities covered by carbon pricing instruments (Ecofys and the Generation Foundation under their Carbon Pricing Unlocked partnership).

 

Panelists (researchers as well as practitioners from the public and private sector) will discuss some of the challenges and opportunities associated with their experience of the use of carbon

    Bridging the gap: high-level climate & development finance commitments and the reality on the ground

    The 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) in Seville represents a milestone for delivering on development (including climate action) goals, a decade after the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. The “Seville Commitment” was adopted on June 30th, albeit in the absence of the United States – demonstrating that widespread support remains for a comprehensive package to finance development. However, the outcome also embodies the growing chasm between high-level commitments and the reality of financing for development and climate action on the ground. Recent research by I4CE attempts to bridge this gap on two crucial issues.

    From headline trillions to actual millions: climate financing needs estimates in the age of implementation

    As climate finance debates evolve from pledges to implementation, this report critically reviews the methodologies and narratives behind existing climate financing needs estimates to examine how they might be used to guide practical efforts in the years to come, and where the most urgent improvements are needed. From headline trillions to actual millions, the challenge ahead is not just about determining how much is missing – the focus should be on closing this gap in practice.
