Welcome<\/h5>\n

Thomas Heller,<\/strong> Executive Director, Climate Policy Initiative<\/p>\n

Introductory Panel: Global States of Play<\/h5>\n

The introductory session focused on the global state of climate-related financing activities of both the public and private sectors. It introduced the meeting\u2019s central areas of interest and overarching questions for the subsequent sessions. Developments, achievements and challenges that have affected information about global climate financing over the past year were considered. A possible outlook of climate financing in light of the upcoming international negotiations to agree a new climate treaty, and identify areas where political and technical discussions could benefit from better information about the actors, policies, and instruments, that sit behind the climate finance landscape were also presented. Panelists provided insights how we can scale up public and private financing of green, low-emission projects and explore how these flows compare to conventional investments into \u201cbrown assets\u201d.<\/p>\n

Chair: Jane Wilkinson,<\/strong> Director, Climate Policy Initiative<\/p>\n
