This session will examine the opportunities and challenges of financing low-carbon and climate-resilient economies. It will discuss what financial institutions in the north and south are doing to progress quickly, particularly on capital-intensive decarbonisation projects, and key adaptation measures, and what are good regulatory practices in the financial sector and across industry sectors. The session aims to reveal different perspectives of south-south versus north-south investors on major investment risks and other barriers. It will tease out and formulate what the global climate change regime can do to effectively mobilize climate finance at transformational scale.
