This workshop aimed to build national understanding on climate change financing, recognising that climate change represents a new challenge for the Government of Tanzania. Developing a national response is needed urgently, and will require action by Government, Tanzanian society more broadly, and the country’s international development partners. Neil Bird made three presentations that reflected on experiences in other countries, the availability of global climate funds for Tanzania, and the options for a national climate finance mechanism.
The debate on climate finance is evolving quickly, spurred on by international processes such as the newly created Green Climate Fund. While there has been much attention given to the international architecture needed to secure the supply of climate finance, there is now a growing focus on how to manage national demand.
