Working Group
UNEP FI's Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) seeks to raise awareness and communicate the problem of climate change to financial institutions, policymakers and the public at large. The CCWG's overall mission is to:
- Identify and communicate the financial sector’s role in mitigation and adaptation to climate change;
- Raise awareness of the global and regional challenges of climate change not only within the sector but across all sectors and industries, including policymakers and the public at large;
- Position the financial sector as a credible and proactive partner by catalysing concrete action within the institutions;
- Provide input to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process through support of the Kyoto Protocol flexible mechanisms – international emissions trading, Joint Implementation (JI) and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), and other initiatives;
- Continue to develop strategies to overcome political and regulatory barriers, which hinder a more proactive role for the finance industry on climate change issues.
