The document discusses engaging the private sector for green growth and climate change through sustainable forest management and natural capital enhancement. It describes the UNEP Finance Initiative, which partners with over 200 financial institutions globally. The document notes that agricultural subsidies greatly exceed funding for sustainable rural development. It argues that policy incentives need revision to properly incentivize REDD+, supply chain sustainability, and zero deforestation commitments. The private sector can be engaged by addressing policy bottlenecks, developing business cases for deforestation-free commodity production, and increasing long-term finance availability for smallholders.
Development partners engage the private sector on green growth and climate change in several ways:
(1) Providing financial support such as loans, guarantees, and blended finance to promote private sector development and mobilize private investment for green projects. (2) Partnering through technical support on feasibility studies, policy advice, and capacity building to harness private sector skills and exchange knowledge. (3) Bilateral donors provide grants while development banks provide loans, guarantees, and direct financing to companies. However, challenges include lack of evidence on development outcomes, managing multiple drivers for engagement, and defining successful approaches.
This document discusses business-aid partnerships for sustainable development. It identifies several areas where business contributes to sustainability, such as technology, financial innovation, and cross-sector partnerships. It also outlines different types of business-aid partnerships, including public-private partnerships, voluntary agreements, community contracts, and community enterprises. Finally, it discusses the roles that aid can play in these partnerships, including convening partners, building capacities, providing financial support, enabling supportive policies, and increasing transparency.
The Nordic Development Fund is owned by five Nordic countries and focuses exclusively on climate change and development projects in low and lower-middle income countries.

The document discusses Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD), an international mechanism to incentivize reducing deforestation rates in developing countries. REDD has the potential to provide large financial benefits but also risks. It may reward countries with historically poor forest management. Ensuring benefits reach small producers and rural poor communities presents governance challenges. While REDD could fund shifts to more sustainable forestry and agriculture, strict rules may disadvantage small producers. Careful program design is needed to balance environmental, economic and social objectives.

This document outlines the process for creating green banks with support from the Green Climate Fund (GCF). It discusses three key steps: analysis and stakeholder engagement, establishment, and operations. The GCF can provide readiness funding and project preparation facilities to support the necessary analyses, feasibility studies, and stakeholder workshops during the initial establishment phase. It can also participate in capitalizing new green banks. A timeline example is provided showing how GCF funding and processes could support the establishment of a green bank over 12-18 months.
Session 6 - Presentation by Manuel Adamini, Climate Bonds InitiativeOECD Environment
The Climate Bonds Initiative works to mobilize debt capital markets for climate solutions. It informs the market through data and analysis, protects integrity through standards and certification, and cooperates through partnerships. Climate bonds are bonds linked to climate projects through use of proceeds. Issuers include governments, corporations, and securitized assets. There is huge investor demand for green investments. The green bond market has grown significantly in recent years but remains small relative to total debt markets. Empirical evidence is emerging that green bonds price tighter than conventional bonds, known as the "greenium".
Session 2 - Presentation by Christopher Knowles, Green for Growth FundOECD Environment

CCCXG Global Forum March 2017 CIF experience in financing long-term low GHG emission development strategies and enhancing climate resilience by Chris Head
This document discusses how to build high-level political support for national adaptation plan (NAP) processes. It defines high-level political support as expressed commitment through verbal declarations, institutional commitment through policies and infrastructure, and budgetary commitment through earmarked resources. It notes that expressed commitment without institutional or budgetary follow-through is rhetorical. The document examines factors that shape political prioritization of adaptation issues, including norm promotion, resource provision, civil society mobilization, policy community cohesion, external framing, political champions, credible indicators, focusing events, clear policy alternatives, political transitions, and competing priorities. It emphasizes understanding what influences policymakers' priorities and how to manage opportunities and barriers.

Snapshots of GCF engagement with Antigua & Barbuda and Mali are provided as examples.
The evaluations commissioned in 2011 could not sufficiently report on outcomes or impact levels. A study was conducted to identify problems, bottlenecks, and improvements to demonstrate the difference of Norwegian aid. Key findings showed handbooks and regulations were generally of good quality but grants lacked results frameworks. Weak reporting on results was also an issue. Reasons for these issues included a lack of prioritization and incentives from leaders as well as competing priorities and pressure to spend funds quickly. Real-time evaluations of REDD+ initiatives aim to provide a platform for learning and discussion while programs are ongoing but struggle with information access given dynamic, political contexts. Improving results management requires prioritization from leaders, proper incentives and resources, realistic goals and indicators set at the
Mexico has significant potential for renewable energy from solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal sources. Total installed renewable capacity was 16,921 MW in 2014. The National Development Bank (Nafin) provides financing for large-scale renewable projects through loans and partnerships with other financial institutions. Nafin's portfolio includes over $6 billion invested in renewable projects representing 2.8 GW of installed capacity.

Content description:
One of the most fundamental components of change delivery is communication. Whether that's the communications between project teams, to project sponsors or the impacted users, how effective we are as practitioners can have lasting impacts.
In this session, we reviewed how an awareness of your change delivery environment might impact and influence your selection of communication channels and their ultimate effectiveness.
Looking at case studies provided by APM and Change Management Institute practitioners, we will explore the following considerations:
1. The scale, scope and complexity of the project and how that should shape our comms approach
2. How mature the project is and what impact this might have on what you say, to who
3. Cultural nuances and their influence on what communication mechanisms are chosen, when, and why.

The document discusses development cooperation from Arab countries and institutions between 2011-2015. It finds that:
1) Arab countries and institutions provided an average of $6.3 billion annually in development assistance over this period, representing 47% of reported flows from non-DAC providers.
2) They concentrate their development activities in the Middle East and North Africa region, providing 81% of their assistance there, primarily to Egypt.
3) Arab providers mainly use grants (58% of assistance), complementing the focus of DAC members on social infrastructure and services.
ECIS countries provide on average USD 6.2 billion annually in development assistance. Turkey is the largest provider, contributing USD 4 billion on average annually. Most ECIS funding is allocated to fragile contexts and social infrastructure projects in lower middle income countries. While grants are the most common form of assistance, ECIS countries are increasingly engaging in innovative partnerships for development.

WP-STAT formal meeting 1-2 July 2019.
The document outlines the agenda for the International Conference on Civil Society Space, held on June 6, 2019 at the OECD Conference Centre in Paris. The one-day conference consisted of four sessions focusing on challenges to civil society space, monitoring civil society engagement, and strengthening partnerships between governments, multilateral organizations, and civil society to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Speakers included representatives from the UN, OECD, governments, and civil society organizations. The goal of the conference was to discuss ongoing efforts and identify further actions to create an enabling environment for civil society participation in development.
The International Conference on Civil Society Space discussed strategies to defend and expand shrinking civil society space. Civil society faces increasing pressure globally from states and non-state actors. Restrictions undermine development goals. Participants discussed how to promote enabling environments through multi-stakeholder partnerships and inclusive dialogue. Recommendations included strengthening CSO effectiveness, shifting support to the local level, and improving spaces for civil society participation in policymaking.
According to preliminary OECD data, $157.2 billion was mobilized from the private sector by development finance interventions from 2012-2017. Guarantees mobilized the most at $63.5 billion (40% of the total), followed by syndicated loans at $26.9 billion (17%) and direct investment in companies and SPVs at $25.5 billion (16%). In 2017 alone, $38.2 billion was mobilized, with Latin America as the main beneficiary region. The energy and financial sectors received 60% of amounts mobilized in 2017.
This document provides information on engaging civil society organizations in triangular cooperation. It discusses how triangular cooperation brings together partners from different countries to leverage their comparative advantages. It notes that while governments remain primary actors, civil society organizations are increasingly important partners that can contribute local expertise and networks. The document analyzes data on over 700 triangular cooperation projects involving civil society organizations. It finds that Africa has the strongest civil society engagement, and that projects focus on social infrastructure, governance, and long-term partnerships of 2-4 years.
The document discusses private sector engagement in triangular co-operation projects. Some key points:
- Over half of projects involving the private sector are multi-regional, mainly across Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. They often include different types of stakeholders like academia and non-profits.
- Projects focus on infrastructure like energy and water, as well as governance. Energy projects concentrate on expanding energy access in Africa.
- Most projects have budgets under $1 million and last 2-4 years, indicating triangular cooperation with the private sector is not overly costly or time-intensive.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Earth Day How has technology changed our life?
Thinkers/Inquiry • How has our ability to think and inquire helped to advance technology?
Vocabulary • Nature Deficit Disorder~ A condition that some people maintain is a spreading affliction especially affecting youth but also their adult counterparts, characterized by an excessive lack of familiarity with the outdoors and the natural world. • Precautionary Principle~ The approach whereby any possible risk associated with the introduction of a new technology is largely avoided, until a full understanding of its impact on health, environment and other areas is available.
What is technology? • Brainstorm a list of technology that you use everyday that your parents or grandparents did not have. • Compare your list with a partner.
2. Learning from our experience and sharing our knowledge with
others is a natural part of our lives
However, in professional or organizational contexts…
…making the most of the
value of our cumulative
experience
to improve what we do
is not that easy
8. Building blocks of an effective lesson
Knowledge Sharing
Building blocks of an effective lesson:
Knowledge Sharing
Its format should facilitate its socialization and re-use
1. Use of natural language
3. Ensure the story includes:
Description of the context/situation
What happened/actions taken
Results and impacts
Recommendation: Forward-looking
actionable advice
2. Identify the source
Format
9. Recommendations: Value does NOT lie in telling people what to do
Avoid generalizations:
Our operational challenges,
being country and sector
specific, are too complex
to be solved with “recipes”
Instead, their purpose is to enable
people to see their situation or
challenge in a new light --to think
differently about what they are
about to do
Knowledge Sharing Format
10. Knowledge Sharing Medium
Considerations:
• Frequency?
• Technology?
• Size/Geographic dispersion?
• Multi-Language?
Green Finance > Renewable Energy Projects
What are some considerations about working with small businesses in energy efficiency
projects?
Provide financial access, i.e. credits and guarantees, and also technical assistance to Small and
Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) for energy efficiency. BANDESAL, in El Salvador, supported
SMEs by encouraging the implementation of technologies that guaranteed the saving of
energy since they have a significant consumption.
