B1: Possible sources of finance for the new
collective quantified goal (NCQG) on
climate finance and links to Article 2.1c
B1: Possible sources of finance for the new
collective quantified goal (NCQG) on
climate finance and links to Article 2.1c
B2: Dimensions of potential sub-targets
for the NCQG on climate finance
B3: Tracking progress towards the NCQG
on climate finance
3. Relationship between Article 2.1c and the NCQG
• NCQG objective refers to accelerating the achievement of Article 2 of the
Paris Agreement, implemented to reflect equity and CBDR–RC
• Article 2.1c applies to diverse financial actors, sources and drivers of both
public and private, domestic, and international financial flows.
• Broad considerations on interaction between Article 2.1c and the NCQG:
o Capital, predominantly available in developed country, needs to be mobilised
towards low-emission, climate resilient investment opportunities in developing
countries in a nationally appropriate manner
o International financial support provided can both pursue a range of sources
of finance and contribute to domestic policies in developing countries that
help trigger effective climate outcomes
4. Examples of possible non-mutually exclusive
approaches for reflecting Article 2.1c in the NCQG
1. Include a high-ambition quantum reference goal reflective of the
scale of efforts that Article 2.1c entails.
2. Explicitly address the role of financial actors and policy makers,
public and private, domestic, and international alike, reflecting the
breadth of Article 2.1c.
3. Reflect considerations relating to equity, just transition, sustainable
development, and poverty alleviation.
4. Include an explicit reassurance on the provision and mobilisation of
climate finance by developed countries.
5. • Financing climate action relies on combination of sources:
o Public finance:
- international (bilateral and multilateral)
- domestic
o Private/commercial private:
- mobilised by public finance
- catalysed by policies and enabling environments
• Underlying mechanisms and instruments to raise and deploy finance
across public and private sources
• NCQG would ideally reflect and balance the UNFCCC status, strengths and
limitations of different financial sources, while recognising their synergies
