With just over a month until COP30 in Belém, climate finance continues to underpin many UNFCCC negotiation tracks. With the Global Goal on Adaptation due to be agreed in Belém, discussions around the Baku to Belém Roadmap to 1.3T and the Sharm el-Sheikh Dialogue concluding this year, making progress on the quantity and quality finance will be critical for progressing the climate finance agenda of the coming years.
In addition to meeting their quantitative fair share of climate finance, countries must ensure the quality of the finance they provide, as shown by ODI’s latest publication: finance must be appropriate, adequate, additional and in support of greater gender equality. Too often, climate finance flows add to developing countries’ already unsustainable debt burdens, is skewed towards mitigation, or overlook the need for gender-responsive and inclusive approaches.
ODI Global, in collaboration with the Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance, will present new research, which assesses developed countries’ fair share of climate finance, both from a quantitative and qualitative perspective.
This event will convene climate finance experts and practitioners to explore how to make progress on finance in the lead-up to and at COP30, with a particular focus on:
- Elevating adaptation finance through a renewed commitment to reach a balance with mitigation.
- Ensuring countries’ fair share of international climate finance is delivered with greater quality – addressing debt, additionality, and gender equality.
