From NDCs to National Climate Investment Plans: domestic investment and climate finance tracking

From NDCs to National Climate Investment Plans: domestic investment and climate finance tracking

finance-domL

Transforming the NDCs into financeable investment plans requires an understanding of existing domestic and international flows – private or public – in all countries. Practitioners and country representatives discussed how this data and cross-country comparison can help reorient and scale up financial flows.

Program

Moderator: Ian Cochran, I4CE – Institute for Climate Economics

Speakers:

  • Jane Wilkinson, Climate Policy Initiative
  • Lauren McNicoll, OECD Research Collaborative
  • Sandra Guzman, GFLAC
  • Marek Soanes, International Institute for Environment and Development

Country Reps for Discussion:

  • David Kaluba, Zambian Climate Change Secretariat
  • Representative from the Indonesian government

Key takeaways : 

Tracking domestic climate finance is a key exercise to support NDCs as it allows:

  • Report – internally (government, parliament, general public) or externally (EU, UNEP)
  • Diagnose – effectiveness (climate, GHG), efficiency (leverage, money), gaps (vs. estimates)
  • Compare – with other countries, sectors, etc.
  • Recommend – propose how to close the gap
  • Coordinate & Plan – a helicopter view, basis for strategies for financing investment, connect capital and pipeline of projects
  • Modeling – represent financial channels and their impact the economy

All presenters stressed the importance of moving from NDCs to climate finance plans looking at both the investment costs, but also the methods and means of financing the needed investments. The following statements were made :

  • Volume should not be the key focus or indicator: it is essential to look at the efficiency of actions and their impact. This is required both in terms of mitigation and adaptation outcomes, as well as mobilizing additional public and private finance.
  • It is key to look at investments and flows going to national and subnational actors as both are in important positions to implement actions and establish key policies.
  • Engaging the private sector is necessary as it will play a significant role in scaling up from the billions to the trillions to achieve climate objectives and, as called for by Article 2.1c, align all financial flows.
  • Capacity building is needed – both in terms of accessing finance, as well as designing and developing national domestic climate finance plans.

    Public Spending in the French Food System: What Contributions to Ecological Transition?

    La transition écologique du système alimentaire pose de nombreuses et épineuses questions de financement : combien ça coûte ? qui doit payer ? les financements existants y contribuent-ils ? C’est à cette dernière question que ce rapport apporte des éléments de réponse. Dans ce rapport, nous réalisons un recensement aussi exhaustif que possible des soutiens publics au système alimentaire français en 2018, 2021 et 2024. Nous analysons la contribution théorique de ces financements à la définition de la transition écologique des pouvoirs publics.

    Climate: The data driving budget debates in France. Public spending today and tomorrow

    Every year, the start of the budget debate in France is an opportunity to ask a number of questions: How much is public spending on climate? What is this money spent on? Which actors, both public and private, are on the receiving end? And above all: how should this spending develop in the future? Many numbers have been produced in France over the last few years and it is easy to get lost in the shuffle. This is why we wrote this handbook. We have gathered the information that we consider most important and tried to highlight what we know, what we do not yet know, and the key debates in France that politicians will have to hold and where they will have to quickly find compromises.

    The climate transition and local public investment capacity

    Europe’s local authorities have a crucial role to play in meeting the EU’s objective for climate neutrality in 2050 and the critical milestones for emission reductions in 2030. They manage important building stocks and transport networks, develop climate strategies, action and investment plans, while engaging stakeholders and citizens in the climate transition. Turning climate policy ambition into reality, local authorities are responsible for implementing a lot of EU’s Green Deal legislative measures. The EU’s high-profile Mission for 100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030 recognises this central role with a pledge for leading cities to trace a fast track towards a climate neutral urban future for others to follow.
