Thank you Grace Tian, Esmyra Javier, Xianfu Lu, Daniel te Kaat, Yuanjie Tian, Mai Lin Villaruel and Noelle M. for the great collaboration. The report features our latest research on the effect of the US Inflation Reduction Act #IRA on cross-border investment fund flows, and the supply of global climate finance.

The article by Ritu Basu and Cheng Hoon Lim for the International Monetary Fund emphasises the critical need for Asia to secure $800 billion in climate financing to combat the challenges posed by global warming effectively. It details the financial shortfall exacerbated by the pandemic and calls for an urgent increase in private capital mobilisation through the elimination of fossil fuel subsidies, the expansion of carbon pricing, and the bridging of critical data gaps. 💸📊 Furthermore, it highlights the importance of innovative financing mechanisms and public-private partnerships in driving investments towards sustainable, climate-resilient infrastructure in a region that is both a major emitter and highly vulnerable to climate impacts. 🌍🌱 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/exfCXEGb FAST-Infra Group | Global Infrastructure Basel (GIB) Foundation | Bloomberg #ClimateFinance #SustainableInvesting #GreenBonds #ESG #PublicPrivatePartnership #InnovativeFinancing #ClimateAction #ResilientInfrastructure

At Kaya Partners we are proud to provide a special report for the Inevitable Policy Response. As we navigate the ongoing complexities of global developments in climate policy, these insights are key to understanding and overcoming the challenges ahead.   📑 Our first paper delves into "Maximising Decarbonisation and Minimising China's Dominance of Clean Energy." It explores strategies to accelerate global decarbonisation while balancing the geopolitical landscape.   📑 The second paper, "Republicans vs Democrats," examines the contrasting approaches to climate policy in the US and their implications for national and global climate action.   📑 In our third paper, "Introducing Carbon Intensity in Trade," we discuss the integration of carbon intensity metrics in international trade agreements, a vital step for aligning economic and environmental goals.   📑 The fourth paper, "Agriculture: The Battle for a Climate Solution," focuses on the pivotal role of agriculture in climate strategies, zooming in on the themes to watch under the next commission.    Stay tuned for the release of these papers and engage with us to explore these pivotal topics further.   #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #Geopolitics #ClimatePolicy #CleanEnergy #Trade #Agriculture #KayaPartners #IPR

Investing in resilience means investing in the future. This Initiative for new Resilience Taxonomy provides clear guidance on credible climate-resilient investments, from Agri-Food Systems to Infrastructure. With 3.3 billion people at high risk from climate change, the time to scale up adaptation finance is NOW. 🎧 Listen to the episode of Conversation on Climate with Sean Kidney from Climate Bonds Initiative: https://lnkd.in/e2A-ujgG #climatebonds #investing #greenbonds #climatechange

In this piece, Tom Kerr and Dhriti Pathak of The World Bank discuss the challenges of financing adaptation activities. They suggest that developing a taxonomy for adaptation action may solve the problem of "additionality" in climate finance. The authors also make a case for Result Based Financing (RBF), explaining: "While there is a lack of consensus on the exact definition of adaptation to climate change, or what actions come under its ambit, there is a general understanding of its primary objective—to minimise the impact of climate risks on communities and systems. This means that an agreement on what the outcomes of adaptation can be is possible even at the global level. … For adaptation, it then goes on to imply that the measurement of results and outcomes in quantifiable terms will enable the mobilisation of result-based financing mechanisms, not just from Multilateral Development Banks and bi-lateral sources, but also from the global capital markets and the private sector, essentially through blended finance and the creation of more innovative instruments." #climateadaptation #climateaction #resilience #climatefinance #taxonomy #theworldbank #AdaptationLeader

Driving adaptation and resilience focused investments and finance is the critical need of the hour. In the developing world, even more so. A taxonomy that can help identify these measures can guide the capital flow to such activities. Very proud that Climate Bonds has done some heavy lifting with experts and practitioners to bring to you the Resilience Taxonomy that you can use with ease. Please check out the link in their post below. Ujala Qadir, Alícia Lerner, Sean Kidney, Jagjeet Sareen, A. Nambi Appadurai

Good to see this OECD initiative. Resilience taxonomy a key to unlocking private capital to invest in a more resilient future.

🌐 New World Bank Policy Research Working Paper out, in collaboration with Florent McIsaac and Stephane Hallegatte! 🌐 Around the world, policymakers are facing political economy constraints in implementing first-best climate policies (carbon tax + innovation + support for vulnerable communities). At a high-level, there are two approaches to dealing with these constraints: 1. Implement a spattering of sectoral carbon taxes, industrial policies, and command and control regulations to do "something" in the near-term, even if it's not first-best. 2. Delay your climate policies until you can implement the first-best, if delayed, policy suite. Which approach is more cost-effective? We develop a modeling framework to explore, and find that implementing sectoral policies in the near-term is less costly than delaying all policies to preserve coordination down the line. This implies that the *timing* of climate policies is more important for policymakers than the *allocation of effort* across your sectors. TLDR: Better to implement climate policies in the near-term, even if they're sub-optimal. Delaying policy and implement the "best" policy in the future is costly. A timely message for the #COP29 underway in Baku!
