Workshop on 'How can national delivery of climate finance be secured effectively?', London, UK
31 March 2011 - 31 March 2011
United Kingdom
A workshop entitled 'How can national delivery of climate finance be secured effectively?' will take place on 31 March 2011 in London, UK.
Financing the promises made at international conferences like Kyoto, Cancun and Copenhagen remains a work in progress. Although an emerging structure is being framed at the global level, information about what is happening at country level has been lacking. It is the national level which experts point to as being crucial for such activities as monitoring, reporting and verification.
The event will provide the launch of the detailed results of the EU-funded 'European development co-operation to 2020' (EDC 2020) project. Two case studies on climate finance and development cooperation in Indonesia and Bangladesh will be a focal point of the workshop. Three questions will also be covered:
- 'how the interface between development cooperation and climate change is unfolding';
- 'what types of institutional structures are emerging to handle climate finance at national level';
- 'what the main challenges are for effective delivery from donor and host country perspectives'.
Funded under the Seventh Framework Programme, the EDC 2020 project has sought to improve European policymaker and stakeholder understanding of emerging challenges facing EU development policy and initiatives outside the EU.For further information, please visit: http://www.edc2020.eu/119.0.html(opens in new window)
