The document discusses trends in international climate finance and frameworks for scaling up climate action. It summarizes statistics on growing climate-related overseas development assistance (ODA) from 2001-2012. Key points include: climate-related ODA reached $21 billion annually from 2010-2012 and mostly supports mitigation; over half of climate finance goes to Asia and a quarter to Africa; and funding is concentrated in sectors like energy, agriculture, and water. The document also outlines challenges around capacity, coordination, and financing integrated climate and development strategies.

- 11. Trends Countries are: • increasingly preparing LEDS, LECRDS, NAPS, NAMAs and other cross-cutting strategies to support their transitions to a low emission and climate resilient economy • recognizing inter-sectoral nature of adapting to “new reality” , i.e., role of key line ministries and other partners to reduce risks and mitigate emissions in integrated manner • facing critical challenges in implementing these strategies and actions: capacity, coordination, mainstreaming into development policy, financing
- 12. Key Challenges •National capacities are required to navigate complex landscape and allow countries to access different forms of relevant finance and deliver integrated development benefits • Funding mechanisms not widely established to deliver integrated CCA and CCM benefits; focus on one or another • Need to catalyze private finance: public finance alone is insufficient to meet demands of climate challenge, must catalyze greater volumes of private finance • Limited alignment between climate and development: to drive economy-wide transformation, and to mainstream climate expenditures into planning and development policy

Industries include cement, fertilizers, mining, construction, chemicals
- 20. LECB Contribution toAddressing Capacity/Coordination/Financing Challenges • Design strategic, long-term national vision for low-emission development aligned with national development goals • Remove technical, financial and institutional barriers to scale-up mitigation action • Improve GHG emission scenarios and the underlying information base to ensure well-informed decision making and a business case for climate change mitigation • Assess sustainable development impacts (co-benefits) of NAMAs & LEDS and design systems to capture these impacts • Support climate finance “readiness” efforts, including how to catalyse public finance to attract private sector investments
- 21. LECB Contribution toAddressing Capacity/Coordination/Financing Challenges (cont’d) • Put in place a multi-stakeholder framework for coordination with relevant institutions, national steering committee, technical working groups • Maximise use of national experts with tailored technical assistance provided, based upon country needs • Focus on institutional capacity building to support a country-driven process to enhance the skills required for accessing finance and implementation • Learn from diverse capacities and experiences, ranging from LDCs to medium-income countries and large emerging economies
- 22. LECB – Implementationchallenges • A country-driven process subject to political changes • Priority setting for NAMAs are very lengthy and complex due to competing agendas among sectoral ministries • Scope of work (i.e. number of sectors and NAMAs) tends to be overambitious • Implementation of mitigation actions and MRV politically charged in many countries • Incipient institutional support to NAMAs and LEDS • Weak technical capacities to undertake thorough NAMA formulation and implementation
