In a significant step towards bolstering climate action efforts, the Global Covenant of Mayors Asia (GCoM Asia) has facilitated the participation of over 193 #cities, actively engaged in a series of climate financing workshops, to foster collaborative platforms for regional #climate initiatives in Asia. 🤝The #EU-funded project has also coordinated business #matchmaking sessions to enhance the capacity of cities in the region to develop #bankable climate projects, including funding applications for various financial institutions such as the Green Climate Fund and the European Investment Bank (EIB). . 🎞 Watch the video to learn more about the commitments of cities in Asia to advancing climate resilience and sustainability through their partnership with the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM).

Henrik Huitfeldt, Acting Head of Operations Section — Economic Cooperation, Energy, Infrastructure and Environment of the EU Delegation to Ukraine: “In the context of the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine, further steps in strengthening the country’s energy independence are extremely important. New energy-saving and generating solutions and green innovations, developed through Climate Innovations Vouchers with EU support, can make the Ukrainian economy more agile and resilient. They will also contribute to resource-efficiency, sustainability, and low-carbon development stipulated by the European Green Deal agenda”. 🏆 About the CIV grant scheme:  The Climate Innovation Vouchers (CIV) scheme is part of the EBRD's Finance and Technology Transfer Centre for Climate Change (FINTECC) programme, which is supported by the EU through the EU4CLIMATE initiative. The Ukrainian NGO Greencubator has been successfully implementing it in Ukraine since 2017. 🔍 Which 🇺🇦 companies will receive about half a million euros from the EBRD and the EU?

OPINION: Norway’s new guarantee scheme for green infrastructure in developing countries marks a shift to an investment-based aid model and climate finance, which will eat into official aid, writes Thea Sofie Rusten Grastveit at Debt Justice Network Norway, Kathrine Sund-Henriksen, Secretary General of Norwegian Forum for Development and Environment, and Tess Woolfenden, Senior Policy and Research Officer, Debt Justice UK, write. The polluter pays principle is an important focal point in climate negotiations and the demand for grant-based ODA is strong. An important principle from the Paris agreement was that climate financing must be new and additional to existing aid, they write.

In the face of climate change, geopolitical crises, and other threats, "unity is Europe's greatest asset," according to Connie Hedegaard, a former European Commissioner for Climate Action and ECF board member. Together with its coalition partners, the European People's Party has steered the EU through multiple shocks over the past five years, including the COVID-19 pandemic, heightened tensions with China, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the subsequent energy crisis. Now, ahead of the #EuropeanElections, the existential threat posed by climate change underscores this coalition’s crucial role as a bulwark against rising populism.

"The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) says [wealthy] countries raised $115.9bn for climate-related projects, following a record surge in spending. However, analysis conducted by the Center for Global Development (CGD) and shared with Carbon Brief suggests that around $27bn of the $94.2bn annual increase in public climate funds in 2022, compared to figures two decades ago, came from existing development aid. Specifically, the CGD identified at least $6.5bn of climate aid within the record 2022 increase that was diverted from other bilateral development aid programmes." This is not entirely surprising but it still strikes me as incredibly gross — and stupid. Climate finance to the Global South is a non-negotiable element of halting global heating, and (reminder!) if it's not halted, global heating is coming for everyone. #ClimateChange Story here: https://lnkd.in/gg66ebpV
