December 11th invitation in Paris | “Mainstreaming!” in association with Climate Finance Day 2017

As Secretariat of the Climate Action in Financial Institutions Initiative, I4CE is pleased to invite you to the event:

Mainstreaming! 

  • Date and time: Monday 11 December 2017, from 9:00 to 12:15

 

Organized by the Agence Française de Développement, the International Development Finance Club (IDFC) and the Climate Action in Financial Institutions Initiative, and in association with Climate Finance Day 2017 

 

Since COP21 and the adoption of the Paris Agreement, a number of financial actors have taken significant and concrete measures to mainstream climate issues into their strategies and operations. Others are gearing up to join the movement. On this basis, the financial community is taking forward its action and is seeking to accelerate the necessary massive redirection of public and private financial flows towards sustainable, low-carbon and climate-resilient development pathways.

 

On Monday 11 December 2017 in Paris, in the context of the Climate Summit organized by the French Government, a day of exchanges on climate finance will gather the main actors from the international financial community. The Mainstreaming! event was take place in the morning and focus on the integration of climate change considerations by financial institutions worldwide. This was be followed in the afternoon and in the same premises by the Climate Finance Day, organized by Finance for Tomorrow, Paris EUROPLACE and the French Ministry for the Economy and Finance, and devoted to the most recent and promising innovations in regulation, financial products and services to accelerate climate-smart action.

 

During COP21, financial institutions set up 5 Voluntary Principles for Climate Mainstreaming and launched the Climate Action in Financial Institutions Initiative. Two years on, how public and private financial actors from the North and South have mainstreamed climate considerations in practice? What headway has been achieved in strategies, climate risk management, financial products and tools, and in terms of transparency and accountability? What are the ambitions for the coming years? How can the initiative help all financial institutions act to make climate change a core business consideration?

    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.
