Global standards for climate financing are essential. But tailored, regional approaches to energy financing are urgently needed. Asia and the Pacific, for example, has the fastest-growing energy demand—and the largest funding gap. In our recent publication with Environmental Defense Fund and Council of Engineers for the Energy Transition, we dive into region-specific and common financing challenges and make the case for localized solutions in clean energy financing. Join Lisa Sachs and Ana Maria Camelo Vega at COP29 to discuss. https://lnkd.in/ejyB8t65 📊 #CCSIonSustainableFinance Sustainable Development Solutions Network | UNIDO Perrine Toledano | Jeffrey Sachs #COP #COP29 #SustainableFinance #CCSIonSustainableFinance #EnergyTransition #ClimateFinance #SustainableDevelopment #CleanEnergy
