Background:
As a critical enabler of climate action, green finance must be made readily available and accessible to all. We must deliver on old promises while developing a new framework going forward. We must therefore witness systematic change to see climate finance effectively deployed in the global south.
How can we de-risk and leverage green finance to the global south to make key climate solutions accessible and available to all?
How can we deliver successful green finance initiatives at the local and regional level, taking into account local communities?
What must be done to protect communities from loss and damages?
