The document discusses the Mitigation Work Programme mandated by COP27 and implications for "investment-focused events". It notes the unprecedented emission reductions needed to meet climate goals but mitigation potential and costs are unevenly distributed. Private climate finance is also uneven across sectors and countries. The mandate gives broad scope for investment events but little guidance. Key decisions include focusing on overcoming barriers along the mitigation project lifecycle and complementing existing investment events. Careful planning and follow-up are needed to maximize the Mitigation Work Programme's impact over time.
