I wrote for @ProSyn on Brazil's plans to launch a new climate fund at COP30 - just as wealthy countries cut aid and climate finance becomes more scarce. Now is the time to fix a fragmented, inefficient climate finance system, not add to its complexity.

Writing in The Interpreter, @GeorgiaHammersl says Australia's compromise with Türkiye to host COP31 has narrowed Pacific influence, but the region can still shape outcomes by pushing for climate finance reform and protecting adaptation funding. 👉https://t.co/U2iAmzXtBe
An interesting article in The Interpreter about China’s advantages in the energy transition, by my @LowyInstitute colleagues @RobWalk3R and @GeorgiaHammersl 👇

The @LowyInstitute's @Mel_Pill & @GeorgiaHammersl write in The Interpreter, while COP30 is symbolically significant, deep-seated issues like weak commitments, major financing shortfalls & geopolitical divisions mean it is likely to disappoint again. 👉https://t.co/ilaBuYP9j0
My colleagues @RolandMRajah, @rjduke and @GeorgiaHammersl have a sharp new @LowyInstitute Policy Brief out today.
Bottom line: More infrastructure, not advisers needed in Australia’s climate strategy in the Pacific.

Australia could boost Pacific climate adaptation by nearly $500m a year by shifting aid from advisers to infrastructure, argue @RolandMRajah, @rjduke & @GeorgiaHammersl in a new @LowyInstitute Policy Brief.

In 2021-22, the 19 climate funds tracked by the UN’s Standing Committee on Finance delivered a mere $3.7 billion, points out @GeorgiaHammersl (@LowyInstitute).
Far from creating yet another climate fund, as Brazil has proposed, delegates at COP30 should focus on streamlining climate finance, argues @GeorgiaHammersl (@LowyInstitute). https://t.co/9f9gnWMVBw

Thrilled to see that our paper on #Cambodia's growth scenarios with @RolandMRajah is publicly available now.

"Over the past three decades, more than 60 multilateral funds have emerged to raise financing for climate action in developing countries. Most are small and obscure."
@GeorgiaHammersl (@LowyInstitute) paints a picture of a climate-finance landscape that is fragmented, crowded, and inefficient – and suggests how to fix it. https://t.co/3DvnYjmwtT

Support for Australia's bid to host the UN's annual climate summit was a rare foreign policy split between the two parties in the federal election. In @Diplomat_APAC, the @LowyInstitute's @GraceStanhope writes that it may be a defining policy for the PM.

White House officials cite transhipment concerns as a basis for the high tariffs on Vietnam & Cambodia.
@RolandMRajah & I find that the majority of the value add in Vietnam's exports are sourced domestically & from non-China sources.

Great update by my colleague @GeorgiaHammersl on the status of global climate pledges due this year. With a world reeling from the turmoil of Trump 2.0, it’s important we don’t take our eye off this critical mission: https://t.co/20lRHaZ9BM
Climate pledge delays: The world can’t afford more hot air, by @LowyInstitute IPDC @GeorgiaHammersl - Global temps have exceeded 1.5°C, yet major emitters are delaying climate commitments. With the U.S. absent, global ambition is at risk. https://t.co/uJkFtiqwDl
