Book Synopsis Private Sector Engagement in Climate Change Adaptation in Least Developed Countries by : Pieter Pauw
Download or read book Private Sector Engagement in Climate Change Adaptation in Least Developed Countries written by Pieter Pauw and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The private sector is increasingly being engaged in climate finance and climate-related activities. Private sector opportunities for engagement in climate change adaptation are less clear than for mitigation, particularly in developing countries. This article first conceptualizes private sector engagement in adaptation by exploring (1) different roles of the private sector in adaptation in developing countries and (2) the way governments can create an enabling environment to increase private sector engagement. Second, it analyses how 47 least developed countries (LDCs) envisage the role of the private sector in their National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs). This article argues that private sector engagement in adaptation is often inevitable and potentially significant. Yet, the results show that it receives little attention in NAPAs.This may have three explanations: (1) an intentional approach of LDCs to avoid a distraction from the necessity to scale up public funding; (2) a lack of awareness of the potential of the private sector; and (3) the NAPA formulation guidelines focus on the public sector in the context of public financing, potentially causing path dependency. Developed countries' historic responsibility for emissions obliges them to upscale public climate finance. At the same time, however, LDCs should further explore private sector engagement in adaptation.

Book Synopsis Public-private Partnerships for Climate Finance by : Ann Gardiner
Download or read book Public-private Partnerships for Climate Finance written by Ann Gardiner and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is strong evidence showing the urgent need for scaling-up climate finance to mitigate greenhouse gases in line with the 2°C target, and to support adaptation to safeguard the international community from the consequences of a changing climate. While public actors have a responsibility to deploy climate finance, it is clear that the contribution from the private sector needs to be significant. Consequently, a strong public commitment is needed to engage with the private sector and ensure climate finance is leveraged and deployed effectively. In this context, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are a promising avenue to contribute to climate finance delivery. PPPs provide frameworks to ensure public leadership and accountability in tackling climate change, while enabling the ownership of certain components of climate finance to be transferred to private hands.

Book Synopsis Practical Methods for Assessing Private Climate Finance Flows by : Julia Illman
Download or read book Practical Methods for Assessing Private Climate Finance Flows written by Julia Illman and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of the climate finance commitment by the developed countries to mobilise jointly 100 billion USD per year by 2020 to address the needs of developing countries from a wide variety of sources, there is no clear agreement on the types of funds that might count as mobilised by developed countries and what private finance flows could be considered as mobilised for climate action in developing countries. This study identifies ten considerations that are key to estimating mobilised private climate finance. An example methodology is proposed for tracking mobilised private investment and the methodology is tested on three Nordic case studies. Through the further refinement of methodologies, it should be possible to develop common systems for M&E of finance enabling a clearer understanding of the finance landscape and the effectiveness of interventions for mobilising private investment.

Book Synopsis Mobilizing Private Climate Financing in Emerging Market and Developing Economies by : Mr. Ananthakrishnan Prasad
Download or read book Mobilizing Private Climate Financing in Emerging Market and Developing Economies written by Mr. Ananthakrishnan Prasad and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2022-07-27 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global investment to achieve the Paris Agreement’s temperature and adaptation goals requires immediate actions—first and foremost—on climate policies. Policies should be accompanied by commensurate financing flows to close the large financing gap globally, and in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) in particular. This note discusses potential ways to mobilize domestic and foreign private sector capital in climate finance, as a complement to climate-related policies, by mitigating relevant risks and constraints through public-private partnerships involving multilateral, regional, and national development banks. It also overviews the role the IMF can play in the process.
Download or read book Climate Finance written by Shilpa Patel and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is focused on climate-related investment in developing countries. It provides the reader with an overview of climate-related activities, clarifies the terminology and discusses the sources of finance and public support. Section 1 gives an overview of current investment in climate-related activities. Section 2 defines a typology of private sector investment according to stage of technology development and type of project/investment. Section 3 outlines the risks faced by a private investor in emerging markets, how these risks are typically mitigated, and discusses how barriers to low carbon investment can exacerbate these risks. Section 4 discusses the different types of support relevant for the private sector and, building on the experience of the EBRD and IFC, the leverage associated with the different project types and support sources. Case studies of innovative use of concessional finance are also provided. Section 5, using the two main available sources of information, assesses the level of investment that will be required for a 2 degrees celsius pathway and concludes with a description of the support mechanisms that will be needed to mobilize private flows. An annex provides a list of interesting initiatives being implemented by other intergovernmental organizations and agencies that also speak to improving private sector engagement in the climate investment space.

Book Synopsis The Role of National Development Banks in Catalyzing International Climate Finance by : Lucila Serra
Download or read book The Role of National Development Banks in Catalyzing International Climate Finance written by Lucila Serra and published by Inter-American Development Bank. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant investments are needed to support the global transition to a low-carbon, climate resilient future. Current finance flows fall short of global financing needs, and massive scaling up is needed to unlock additional financial resources and foster a sustainable investment pathway. Overcoming barriers to private sector investments is critical, and international climate finance can play a catalytic role in this regard. National development banks (NDBs) have a unique role in this context, both complementing and catalyzing private sector players. This publication discusses the unique role that NDBs could play in scaling up private financing for climate change mitigation projects through the intermediation of international and national public climate finance in their respective local credit markets and the conditions that would be needed for them to be most effective. It draws from experiences in international climate finance and best practices, processes, and products of NDBs within the Latin American and Caribbean region.
Book Synopsis Climate Finance by : Richard B. Stewart
Download or read book Climate Finance written by Richard B. Stewart and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preventing risks of severe damage from climate change not only requires deep cuts in developed country greenhouse gas emissions, but enormous amounts of public and private investment to limit emissions while promoting green growth in developing countries. While attention has focused on emissions limitations commitments and architectures, the crucial issue of what must be done to mobilize and govern the necessary financial resources has received too little consideration. In Climate Finance, a leading group of policy experts and scholars shows how effective mitigation of climate change will depend on a complex mix of public funds, private investment through carbon markets, and structured incentives that leave room for developing country innovations. This requires sophisticated national and global regulation of cap-and-trade and offset markets, forest and energy policy, international development funding, international trade law, and coordinated tax policy. Thirty-six targeted policy essays present a succinct overview of the emerging field of climate finance, defining the issues, setting the stakes, and making new and comprehensive proposals for financial, regulatory, and governance mechanisms that will enrich political and policy debate for many years to come. The complex challenges of climate finance will continue to demand fresh insights and creative approaches. The ideas in this volume mark out starting points for essential institutional and policy innovations.

Download or read book Climate Funds and Sustainable Development written by Gonzalo Larrea and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-03 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While significant attention has been devoted to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG 13) and scaling up climate finance for developing countries, the adverse impacts of funded projects on local communities remains inadequately explored by both academics and policymakers. Mobilizing climate finance on an unprecedented scale is undeniably vital for the success of developing countries’ climate policies. However, these initiatives often give rise to adverse consequences for individuals in these countries, leading to displacements, exacerbating food insecurity, or even triggering conflicts over resources. This book examines the extent to which the climate funds established for achieving SDG 13 are adequate for addressing climate change impacts in developing countries. Yet, its analysis transcends the mere evaluation of the sufficiency or efficacy of these efforts found in much of the existing literature. Beyond the scope of quantifiable success, the book delves into the root causes of the adverse impacts that these funds can have on local communities and offers tailored recommendations to realize the noble aspirations of SDG 13, all without implying that the individuals who should benefit from climate finance are the ones who pay in the end.
