Online community for #climatefinance practitioners from governments and beyond. Active since 2012. Primarily Latin America and the Caribbean, but open to all.
Prioritizing #LossAndDamage & #Adaptation remains top concern for the world's vulnerable countries, who suffer the most from the impacts of #ClimateChange while bearing the least responsibility. We must see world leaders at #COP26 urgently increase #ClimateFinance for each.
There is need to build and ensure sustainable channels of finance for Gender-climate solutions. 📢This #COP26 increase gender-responsive #ClimateFinance for women and girls at the grassroots level in Africa. #Inclusion4ClimateJustice 🌳🌎
“The world is still struggling to get on track … However, the fight isn’t over yet. Governments, businesses, & civil society can still step up efforts together to achieve #netzero emissions & increase access to #climatefinance," shared GGGI President & Chair Mr. Ban Ki-moon.
"The text dodges poorer countries' demands for assurances that rich countries, whose greenhouse gas emissions are largely responsible for climate change, will provide far more money to help them cope with climate change and cut CO2 emissions." #ClimateFinance
We asked young climate activists to share their enthusiasm and expectations @COP26
We will be amplifying their voices and concerns over the next few days.

Brilliant speech on #ClimateFinance from Barbados Minister for Economy at #COP26 describes bridge destroyed & rebuilt 3 times in worsening storms, each time with new debt. Strong proposals re grants, SDRs,0% development loans & inclusion of disaster clauses in finance instruments
📢 from #COP26: The #Adaptation Fund received the highest single mobilization to date and more than double the previous highest collective mobilization.
This and other much needed #climatefinance updates critical to support climate vulnerable nations and communities.
UK's commitment to climate leadership has led to the launch of the ��274M Climate Action for a Resilient Asia (CARA) programme, implemented by @UNDPasiapac's CFN & other partners to help countries in AP mobilize and utilize #ClimateFinance.

@COP26
How does @COP26 deliver on the $100bn #climatefinance promised for developing countries? Two must read reports from @GRI_LSE - from Amar Bhattacharya & @lordstern1 on beyond $100 https://t.co/3jdBkAdUv5 & from Hans-Peter Lankes on 'blended finance' https://t.co/Mv2ABNnacq
"Estimated adaptation costs in developing countries are five to ten times greater than current public adaptation finance flows, and the adaptation finance gap is widening."
$100b p.a. overdue
$500b+ p.a. due
Loss and Damage long overdue

Top read > Southern Africa was struck by 36% of Africa’s weather disasters in the past 40 years – but the region gets little #ClimateFinance.

Africa is the world’s fastest-growing continent & is full of opportunities for growth. In demanding & negotiating for private #climatefinance flows at #COP26, the representatives must depart from presenting it as a vulnerable case: Oluwaseun J Oguntuase. https://t.co/DfQ334xs8j
