How to convince a "shark" to invest in climate action 🦈 UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre provides technical assistance to #Belize to improve private sector investments for #climateaction, with support from the NDC Partnership. This week's training included an engaging “shark tank” activity, where groups pitched their investment ideas to a panel. While the investments were hypothetical, participants gained critical experience and valuable lessons on strengthening their proposals and approaching financial considerations for successful project implementation. The Improving Private Sector Investment for Climate Action in Belize project maps national needs and priorities for #climate action and identifies challenges, gaps and needs related to climate change and investments. The findings are used to prioritize climate actions relevant for private sector investments, and to design financial support mechanisms in support of #privatesector investments to support the implementation of Belize's #NDC.   Through the project UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre is also enhancing capacities of national institutions and private sector stakeholders to leverage concessional climate finance to facilitate climate investments through blended finance approaches. 👉Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dMzuxxNa

Scaling Up Green Investment in Morocco and the Global South CDG and BMZ, alongside the Sustainable Finance Center (London University) , German Embassy in Morocco, IMAL, and the NDC Partnership, co-organized this Monday, February 17, 2025, in Rabat, an Acceleration Dialogue bringing together key stakeholders to advance climate finance mobilization. As part of Morocco’s new Strategy for the Development of Climate Finance, this dialogue focused on strengthening cooperation between national and international development finance institutions to mobilize domestic financial capital for climate and development objectives. CDG and BMZ will take forward the key insights from this exchange to the WB-IMF Spring Meetings in Washington, DC, contributing to discussions on financial architecture reform and scaling global climate finance. The commitment continues to drive innovation, multi-stakeholder engagement, and international cooperation to accelerate climate finance mobilization.

Please note: The event time has changed! The correct time is 3:30PM–5:00PM CET, not the time listed on the flyer. This week, E3G is hosting a panel at the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue with climate leaders from Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Colombia to assess progress, set expectations for high-ambition commitments, and explore how these countries can translate targets into action. With the #NDC Synthesis report due for release ahead of #COP30 this November and global climate politics shifting rapidly, this timely discussion will assess progress, set expectations, and examine how these dynamic economies can lead the charge on COP28 energy goals, scaling up renewables and transitioning away from fossil fuels. With Brazil’s COP30 presidency on the horizon, the panel will also explore its potential to shape global ambition and strengthen climate leadership in the Global South.

Countries are increasingly engaging with the NDC Partnership to not only plan and implement their #NDCs but also track and communicate their progress through robust reporting. A critical area of reporting-related support is the preparation of their Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs). Given its relevance to NDC reporting, the NDC Partnership has been deeply involved in guiding countries through the BTR process to ensure accurate reporting that captures countries’ progress and informs their next steps. In March 2024, the NDC Partnership co-organized a training workshop in Singapore to support 15 Asian countries in preparing their BTRs by the year-end deadline. Hosted by the Government of Singapore, the workshop provided participants with essential skills and knowledge. Training was delivered by Singapore’s National Climate Change Secretariat, Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the UNFCCC secretariat, NAP Global Network and the NDC Partnership Support Unit, building regional capacity and fostering knowledge exchange.

NDC Partnership member 🇨🇺 Cuba submitted its NDC 3.0, pledging to generate 26% of its electricity from #RenewableEnergy by 2035. It also aims to cut potential biomethane emissions from sugar distilleries by 50% by 2035, using 2030 as the baseline.

NDC Partnership member, the 🇲🇭 Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), has submitted its NDC 3.0, committing to at least a 58% reduction in #GHG emissions below 2010 levels by 2035. The country is accelerating its shift from fossil fuels, enhancing resilience and strengthening its response to loss and damage. Recognizing the vital role of women and youth in this transition, the country is launching the Outer Islands Solar Training for Women program — supported by funding from the Government of Canada through the NDC Partnership. RMI developed its NDC 3.0 with support available through the Global Call for NDCs 3.0 & LT-LEDS, with additional backing from the Partnership Action Fund. The NDC Partnership In-Country Facilitator helped coordinate stakeholder consultations. #ClimateAction #NDCs #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition

#COP29 in Baku, #Azerbaijan, concluded with governments agreeing on a new collective quantified goal (NCQG) for climate finance, replacing a previous goal of mobilizing $100 billion per year to address the needs of developing countries. While the NCQG decision represents increased ambition and climate finance flows have increased in recent years, they remain far below what is needed — particularly for Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States. To support countries in setting up and effectively operating Climate Finance Units (CFUs), the Center for Access to Climate Finance released a new Policy Brief offering practical guidance through actionable recommendations. The Brief provides insights from CFUs already in place across multiple countries, including 🇧🇩 Bangladesh, 🇧🇿 Belize, 🇫🇯 Fiji, 🇰🇪 Kenya, 🇲🇿 Mozambique, 🇷🇼 Rwanda and 🇺🇬 Uganda. Case studies highlight real-world success factors such as strong mandates, cross-government coordination and alignment with national climate priorities, including NDCs. Examples demonstrate how CFUs play a vital role in mobilizing and managing climate finance and are important vehicles to attract additional investment from public and private sources.
