The money is there, but their leaders don’t have the political will or the gumption to look beyond short-term gains and their colonial mindsets. One thing is certain, the new finance goal must address the core issues of equity and accessibility. Moreover, all NCQG pledges must be for new and additional funds that are not mere commitments but actual disbursals that reach the most vulnerable populations without too much bureaucracy.

"A report by The G20 Taskforce on a Global Mobilization against Climate Change (TF-CLIMA) on Thursday, lists five “myths” blocking climate action, including that it will slow economic growth and that governments lack the resources to fix climate change and should leave it to the market. It recommends that G20 governments should implement green industrial strategies, reform the global financial system and scale up financing for climate projects." #G20 #ClimateFinance #ClimateAction Read the full article here ⬇

Today, we launch "A Green and Just Planet: The 1.5°C Agenda for Governing Global Industrial and Financial Policies in the G20" - the final report of the G20 Group of Experts to the Task Force on a Global Mobilization against Climate Change (TF-CLIMA), which I co-chair alongside Vera Songwe. This report sets out a framework for making green growth achievable across the G20 and globally. It calls for a paradigm shift in how we approach economic development and climate action, emphasizing that sustainable and inclusive growth can be achieved by aligning industrial strategies and financial policies with climate goals. We argue that all G20 states must act urgently to bring about the economy-wide transformation needed to limit warming to 1.5°C. This means adopting ambitious green industrial strategies oriented around Nationally Determined Contributions, taking a whole-of-government approach, and redesigning key government structures, tools, and institutions to support their implementation. Crucially, higher-income G20 countries should take a lead role in providing the financing required to advance these strategies. We call for reforms to provide cheaper long-term capital, especially for low- and middle-income countries, through changes to the global financial architecture, to align the strategies of national and multilateral development banks around climate goals, and to ensure a stable financial sector that takes systemic climate risks into account, providing the macroeconomic authorizing environment for a green transition.                                      We propose detailed recommendations in three critical areas: 1️⃣ Adopt green industrial strategies oriented around Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) backed by cross-ministerial and cross-sectoral collaboration and investment.   2️⃣ Reshape financial policies and institutions to unlock access to affordable green finance and enable investments in a low-carbon, sustainable future. 3️⃣ Ensure equitable global governance of both green industrial strategy and green finance to ensure that all countries can benefit from green growth. Read the full report to explore how we can transform our approach to economic development, reshape markets, and scale up affordable green finance for a sustainable, equitable future. It's time for the G20 to lead the way in pursuing new development pathways grounded in ambitious green industrial strategies, affordable green finance, and equitable global governance. It’s time for an approach to economic growth that delivers for both people and planet. Read the full report here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/emdbySfz (scroll down to the download report section)

Baku wants all countries to lay down arms for the UN climate summit – but doubts grow as warring states sign up and conflicts intensify “We had a number of important questions about the practical implications of the declaration and what it meant, for example, for our efforts to spotlight human rights abuses. But they did not give us the time to engage properly, so obviously we did not sign on.  In its current form, it is a hollow and performative ‘motherhood and apple pie’ declaration that does not deal with the fundamental and systemic issues causing wars and conflict. At best, it appears to simply be a PR exercise." Tasneem Essop #COP29Truce #COP29 #COPAzerbaijan
