Welcome<\/h5>\n

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

Introductory Panel: Tracking & Politics<\/h5>\n

The introductory session focused on developments, milestones and challenges that have impacted information about and progress on global climate financing over the past year. Panelists discussed possible implications of the Paris Agreement on climate financing up to and beyond 2020, and identified areas where technical work to improve information flows and the design of policies and financial instruments could further build the political willingness and ability of countries and investors to take ambitious, early climate action. Panelists provided insights on how better information about finance and the landscape of actors could enhance participation in the implementation of NDCs, and what needs to be done now to continue the momentum of COP21.<\/p>\n
