🌍 With less than two months to go before COP30 in Belém and as Climate Week NYC opens its doors (21–28 September): how do we deliver on this “COP of implementation”? 📄 IDDRI releases a new Policy Brief that unpacks the multiple dimensions of implementing the international climate framework under the UNFCCC—and offers practical suggestions to the COP30 Presidency. Its proposals focus on three key areas: ✅ Making full use of existing UNFCCC mechanisms ✅ Orchestrating climate action across international fora beyond the UNFCCC ✅ Harnessing positive action on the ground 👉 COP30 can mark the beginning of a post-negotiation era, where transparency frameworks, synthesis reports and cooperation platforms are not just compliance tools, but powerful levers to overcome barriers, build solutions and mobilize actors. 👉It should launch a sustained and coordinated implementation drive that extends beyond a single COP cycle—promoting sector-specific collaboration, fostering regional peer learning, and empowering grassroots participation to ensure legitimacy and reduce polarization.

Transforming #Philanthropy: Building a Just Philanthropic Ecosystem ✨ A just philanthropy ecosystem requires funders to seek alignment, shared learning, and conversations that center needs for flexible funding and shifting power. Grassroots movements are better resourced and flourish when funders prioritize #collaboration over competition. In 2024, Global Greengrants Fund invested significant time and resources into philanthropic partnerships that gather funders to learn and strategize together. We leveraged international conversations at spaces like #COP16 and #COP29, continued our partnership with groups like the CLIMA Fund, contributed to a report advocating for #GenderJust climate action, and more!

#SUERFpolicybrief “Climate, Inflation, and Monetary Policy: Insights from the New Keynesian Climate Model" by Jean-Guillaume Sahuc (Banque de France), Frank Smets (Bank for International Settlements – BIS) and Gauthier Vermandel (École Polytechnique) #Climatechange is increasingly affecting economic developments through the physical damages it creates and the mitigation and adaptation policies it elicits. #Centralbanks, focused on price stability and output smoothing, must navigate this new environment and its impact on price developments. Inflationary pressures emerge from rising costs and lower productivity due to the physical impact of climate change (so-called “climateflation”). #Inflation may also rise due to carbon tax policies and green investment necessary to transit to a low-carbon economy (so-called “greenflation”). In Sahuc et al. (2025), we introduce a New Keynesian Climate (NKC) model to analyze these two phenomena. The model estimated on world data integrates long-run environmental changes in a tractable New Keynesian framework that can be used to study #monetarypolicy. It shows the trade-offs central banks face in a world where inflation and growth are increasingly shaped by environmental constraints. 📄 https://lnkd.in/dvme3Bnu

🌍 Adaptation or mitigation - what’s the difference, and why does it matter? 🎥 Watch our video to explore how both approaches respond to the impacts of a changing climate and why adaptation is key to building climate resilience. Mitigation focuses on reducing emissions to slow climate change. Adaptation helps people respond to its effects - like floods, fires, and extreme heat - which are already happening. We need both. While we address climate change through mitigation, we must also adapt to the changes affecting and disrupting people's lives. At the Z Zurich Foundation, we work with communities to adapt and build resilience. This means supporting people and co-creating solutions that fit their realities and needs. Climate action is about the future. And it’s about what we do now. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eE8PZv2F

Carbon markets are no longer a side conversation; they’re becoming a cost-effective pathway for companies and countries striving to meet climate goals. Carbon markets mobilize private capital, particularly in developing countries, to enable financing for clean technologies and give hard-to-abate sectors access to solutions that would otherwise remain out of reach. The result? A more practical, scalable way to accelerate progress toward net zero.

Finance is a key enabler of climate action, but current global climate finance flows are just a fraction of what’s needed to mitigate and adapt to the growing impacts of climate change. That’s where the new "Scaling Climate Finance" course comes in. Developed by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and UNDP ’s Asia-Pacific Climate Finance Network, this 5-hour, self-paced e-learning course empowers participants to mobilize and manage climate finance more effectively. Enroll today to start learning! 👉https://lnkd.in/egA65ieX Through real-world examples, case studies, and practical tools, participants will explore how public and private investments can be leveraged to mitigate climate change, build resilience to climate impacts, and advance the Sustainable Development Goals. #ScalingClimateFinance #ClimateFinance #Sustainability #ClimateAction #GreenEconomy #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateSolutions #FinanceForChange #GlobalImpact #ClimateLeadership #ResilientCommunities #ClimateInnovation #ELearning #SustainableFuture #ClimateResilience #InclusiveGrowth #UNITAR #UNDP #ClimateCrisis #CircularEconomy #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateMitigation #CarbonNeutral #PrivateSector #ClimateEquity #GreenTransition #GreenInvestments #NetZero

📢 New podcast episode 🎙 Beyond COP: How FFD4 Shapes Climate and SDG Finance Most people know of COP (Conference of the Parties), but few know about the Financing for Development Conference (FFD4) — and why its outcomes could reshape the flow of climate finance worldwide. In our latest New Frontiers in Climate Finance episode, host Harry MacKenzie speaks with Mike Wilkins, Professor of Practice at Imperial Business School and veteran of UN climate processes, about what happened in Seville this year and why it matters. 💬 “If MDBs relaxed their capital rules and maintained strong credit ratings, we could unlock trillions for climate action by 2030.” Inside the episode:  ✅ How reforming MDB governance could triple climate lending to developing countries  ✅ Why debt-for-development swaps and Special Drawing Rights could unlock billions for adaptation and mitigation  ✅ The untapped potential of innovative instruments like IP-backed securities and R&D bonds  ✅ Why FFD4 outcomes could be as important as COP30 If you care about where the climate money actually comes from and why it isn’t flowing fast enough, this is the episode for you.

Columbia Climate School launches Climate Finance Vulnerability Index - a new tool that identifies 65 ‘Red Zone’ nations across four separate climate scenarios. 43 nations in Sub-Saharan Africa, eight in Latin America and the Caribbean, six in Asia-Pacific, six in the Middle East, and two in Europe are most at-risk. With support from The Rockefeller Foundation, the index aims to help close the gap between risk assessments and funding allocations. https://lnkd.in/eaACK2_K
