This blog argues that the concepts of climate change mitigation and adaptation may overlook the transformatory challenge of climate change, and that a term like ‘climate compatible development’ may be appropriate.
This paper explores how climate finance additionality is being defined by different political actors and what the implications are of these different definitions.
The estimates of global needs for climate finance are considerable and it is expected that the requirement for funding will see a significant increase over the next decade. The paper identifies three sequential phases that relate to the mobilisation, administration and disbursements of funds, examining the principles, criteria and indicators that are relevant for each of these three phases.
This video introduces the new Climate and Development Knowledge Network. The initiative is managed by a consortium led by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
The CDKNetwork provides developing country policymakers in government and civil society with information and advice to help them make long term policy and investment decisions, that are resilient to climate change, and consistent with low carbon development.
This paper explores how developing country exporters could meet additional costs associated with climate change, including aid, new markets in carbon reduction commitments, and reconciling the differences between the world trading system and the international conventions on climate change.
ODI research finds that some sectors will lose out if aid is diverted to finance climate change adaptation. This blog argues that such finance much be additional to existing aid spending.
The Copenhagen Accord may not be the hoped-for solution, but the blurring of traditional lines between developed and developing countries could pave the way for more progress in the future.
The difficulties of thrashing out a deal at the Copenhagen conference demonstrate a lack of trust between developing and developed countries: the result of broken promises on aid volumes and effectiveness.
This Background Note offers a critique of the ways in which the financial architecture to support adaptation to climate change is taking shape in international negotiations, and identifies important issues that need to be taken into account when designing this new architecture.
Developing countries need massive amounts of investment to support a shift to low carbon and climate resilient growth and development. Given the scale of investment needed, the international community needs to give careful thought to options that could generate funding, and financial instruments that will deliver that funding at country level.
