Domestic landscape of climate finance: Why systemic approach to climate finance matters?

19 February 2019 - Climate Report - By : Ian COCHRAN, Phd / Hadrien HAINAUT

Why is it both important and useful to track climate investment and finance flows at the domestic level? In this policy brief, WiseEuropa, New Climate Institute and I4CE present an overview of how systematically tracking these flows can help governments and other stakeholders with quantitative data to assess progress towards national climate objectives as well as through understanding how different actors contribute to financing of climate mitigation and adaptation activities. Building on I4CE’s methodological work in France since 2012, the policy brief looks specifically at how improved tracking could assist policymakers in Poland in the development of an overarching long-term climate strategy as well as sectoral initiatives (such as the energy sector policy or initiatives tackling air pollution).

 

 

This policy brief is part of the project “Landscapes of Climate Finance: Promoting debate on climate finance flows in Central Europe” financed by the European Climate Initiative (EUKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). It is the overarching goal of the EUKI to foster climate cooperation within the European Union (EU) in order to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. The opinions put forward in this report are the sole responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU).

    Climate finance: multiplying the numbers will not solve the equation alone

    Much of the discussions at COP28 will focus the 100 billion USD/year target decided at Copenhagen to support climate investments in the Global South, and on the new climate finance goal set to replace it. But, whilst keeping our eyes on the volumes laid on the table, we also need to look more into the impact of every dollar spent. Identifying and building on the value added of every actor in the economy is essential to avoid overlaps and maximise synergies. Three types of actors have a pivotal role to play in the paradigm shift: governments, public financial institutions and private financial institutions.

    Carbon prices: the winds of change

    After several years of strong growth, the revenue generated by carbon pricing mechanisms (carbon taxes or markets) worldwide, as reported in our 2023 edition of the Global Carbon Accounts, stabilized at nearly USD 100 billion. This stabilization could not be more deceptive.  The future has rarely been so uncertain for carbon prices, caught between very strong opposing trends, and the next two years could mark a major turning point, for good or bad, for the use of these climate policy instruments worldwide.
