On November 4, 2016, the Paris Agreement entered into force. To date, 190 countries have submitted 164 nationally determined contributions (NDCs) outlining their own goals and methods to reduce emissions in common effort to limit global temperature increases this century.<\/p>\n
In maintaining momentum after Paris and NDC implementation, more onus will be placed on international public finance actors <\/b>\u2013 bilateral aid agencies, export credit agencies, bilateral development banks, multilateral climate funds, and multilateral development bank \u2013 scaling up their own flows while using money most effectively to leverage others; coordinating and collaborating on approaches and avoiding duplication; as well as reconciling mandates on climate finance delivery with other mandates on poverty alleviation and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n
Optimizing the use of international sources of public climate finance requires recognition of existing and emerging actors\u2019 inherent constraints, the capacity and needs of developing country systems to absorb finance, and a long-term view of how circumstances change in uncertain economic and political environments.<\/p>\n
Systems thinking approaches provide the potential to identify and measure how international public climate finance actors can interact<\/b>: <\/span><\/p>\n The systems approach frameworks developed in this project offer methods to enhance coordination and collaboration among actors both within the international public climate finance system, and during design of interventions within developing country contexts.<\/p>\n However, while such solutions are commonly called for, delivering them at scale require some of the major public finance actors in climate finance to adapt and change business models.<\/p>\n International Public Actors have been constrained <\/b>by: <\/span><\/p>\n International Public Actors are best positioned to:<\/p>\n In light of not only the scale of climate finance needs, but also the type of public finance instruments needed to leverage private flows, the importance of more connected coordination and collaboration by international public climate finance actors is crucial.
