Carbon and Agriculture: The Big Picture
There is a renewed interest in the role of agriculture at the climate change negotiations, as evidenced by a number of interesting side-events during COP 16 in Cancun. The reason is simple: Agriculture and related activities account for a third of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, most of which can be mitigated, an opportunity that policy makers simply cannot afford to miss. What’s more, some of the techniques that sequester carbon have the added advantage of building the water-retention capacity and nutrient content of soils, hence contributing to a triple-win situation where mitigation, adaptation and yield increases are all addressed.
In response to this, SIANI and Sida arranged a one-day workshop on the theme From Source to Sink: How to make Agriculture part of the Solution to Climate Change while contributing to Poverty Alleviation? The main purpose of the workshop was to link the multiple potentials of agriculture to other development goals such as over-all poverty alleviation and food security, with particular reference to the needs of smallholder farmers who make up 70% of the world’s poorest people.
Financing for Sustainable Development
Low- and middle-income countries need $1.4 trillion annually to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. This requires tremendous investment in areas like health, education, agriculture, energy, water and sanitation, and infrastructure. However, scaling up investment is challenging due to slow economic growth, low existing investment rates, and declining fiscal balances in these countries. A robust policy framework is needed to deliver sustainable infrastructure and mobilize both public and private financing from domestic and international sources. The next 10-15 years will be crucial to shift investment towards a new growth path focused on sustainability.
COP27: Final decisions document
1. The document outlines the Sharm el-Sheikh Implementation Plan agreed upon at COP27. It recognizes the urgent need to address climate change and biodiversity loss, and stresses that geopolitical issues should not be used as an excuse to backtrack on climate action.
2. It acknowledges the latest reports from the IPCC and UNEP which highlight the impacts of climate change and the need for rapid emissions reductions. The goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C is reaffirmed.
3. Countries agree to implement ambitious transitions to low-emission development, in line with the Paris Agreement. Efforts are needed across all sectors including a transition to renewable energy and just energy partnerships.
Sustainable Development Finance, Current Trends and Maximizing Impact
The document discusses sustainable development finance and maximizing the impact of investments to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It covers trends in sustainability, how to finance development through public and private means, implementing goals at the local level through programs in various countries, and using data and technology like blockchain, big data, and competitions to track progress and support women entrepreneurs. The World Bank is working with partners to mobilize trillions needed for development through approaches like blended finance, sustainability indexes, green bonds, and emphasizing the role of both domestic public spending and private sector finance.
Challenges to climate finance
On 6 July 2016, ECDPM's Hanne Knaepen gave a presentation on “climate financing challenges” at the 3rd Meeting of the EU-Africa Network of Economic and Social Stakeholders, organised by ECOSOC in Nairobi.
Female genital mutilations
Female genital mutilation (FGM) involves partial or total removal of external female genitalia and can harm women's physical and mental health. It is practiced in 25 African and Middle Eastern countries, affecting over 125 million girls and women. There are four types of FGM that range from partial or total removal of the clitoris to narrowing of the vaginal opening. Both short-term and long-term complications can result, including bleeding, infection, cysts, difficulties with childbirth, and mental health issues. FGM is typically performed on young girls for cultural not medical reasons and can have lifelong impacts.
ROLE OF GOVERNMENT IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR
This document discusses the role of the government in India's healthcare sector. It covers several topics: [1] the challenges facing public health in India, including communicable/non-communicable diseases and health inequalities; [2] how the government addresses these issues through the Ministry of Health and initiatives to strengthen the health system and promote intersectoral coordination; and [3] the conclusion emphasizes the importance of a collective, inclusive, and sustainable approach to public health that deals with social determinants of health and provides universal access to healthcare for all Indians.
The History of Climate Change Negotiations
The document provides a short history of international climate change policy, starting from early scientific studies in the late 19th century through the establishment of the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol. It summarizes the key objectives and principles of the UNFCCC, as well as commitments made by Annex I, Annex II, and other parties. It then discusses the Kyoto Protocol, including its commitments, limitations, and need for future action. It concludes by outlining the AWG-KP and AWG-LCA processes aimed at establishing new commitments beyond the first Kyoto commitment period and a long-term global climate agreement.

A Public Private Partnership Approch to Climate Finance
The detrimental effects of climate change are growing, yet investments in clean technologies are still grossly insufficient, making it necessary to re-think how these projects should be evaluated, structured and financed in order to render them viable and attractive opportunities to polluting alternatives. Existing approaches lack key features in order to adequately address the key financing challenges of these investments, and do not utilize public support to its maximum effectiveness. The international community is essential in resolving this financing challenge, and host governments need to create an environment that levels the playing field for green investments vis-à-vis their conventional alternatives. The Green Infrastructure Finance Framework places clean investments in a commonly understood framework of structured finance with public finance components, as in many hybrid PPPs. The framework includes four
main elements: (i) a viability gap methodology for evaluating, structuring and equitably allocating financing responsibilities to different private and public parties; (ii) linkage to a country’s PPP’s procurement and regulatory framework along with an MRV component for ensuring the service obligations of projects; (iii) measures for addressing the adequacy of the climate for these investments; and (iv) a financing and advisory interface for allocating a wide variety of public sources of financing in a coherent fashion.

The Green Climate Fund is the world's largest dedicated climate fund, established to help developing countries reduce greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen resilience to climate change impacts. It has pledged $9.8 billion for its first replenishment period and has approved 143 projects totaling $6.2 billion to date across 106 countries. The Fund uses its Private Sector Facility to promote private sector climate action through innovative financing instruments like loans, equity, and guarantees to de-risk investments and mobilize private capital for low-carbon and climate-resilient development. Examples of Private Sector Facility projects include a $56 million concessional loan and grant to the Development Bank of Southern Africa for a lending facility to catalyze $850 million in
MR12CD Tuesday 13h00 - Sayed
The document discusses the role of the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) in mobilizing financing for green economy projects through mechanisms like the National Green Fund. It describes the types of funding and financing instruments provided by the Green Fund, including grants, loans, and equity, to support initiatives that promote renewable energy, low carbon development, and environmental management. The Green Fund aims to facilitate South Africa's transition to a greener economy through strategic investments across key sectors.
Financing Industry Decarbonization: Marcia Yu, IFC.pdf
This document summarizes a workshop on financing industry decarbonization held in April 2022. It discusses two main categories of sustainable finance - "use of proceeds" instruments and "target driven" sustainability-linked financings. For the latter, pricing is linked to achieving sustainability performance targets which are verified and can result in interest rate adjustments. The document also outlines strategic, transactional, and implementation support the International Finance Corporation can provide clients in developing decarbonization strategies and executing sustainable finance deals.
Introduction to Green Finance in the changing context.pptx
The document provides an introduction to green finance, including definitions, a brief history, and descriptions of main asset classes and financial instruments used in green projects. It discusses how the Global Environment Facility (GEF) uses different financial tools like equity, debt, and guarantees in a layered capital structure to catalyze private investment in green projects. The GEF takes on higher risk, lower return positions to de-risk projects for other private investors and attract greater co-financing. Examples are provided of how the GEF has used these tools in forestry, fisheries, and energy efficiency projects.
Finance for Urban Climate Change Resilience
The document provides an overview of trends and challenges in financing urban climate change resilience. It discusses the imbalance in funding between adaptation and mitigation efforts. It also explores various funding mechanisms from multilateral development banks, climate funds, foundations, and research programs. While funding is growing, gaps remain in adequately supporting urban resilience efforts, smaller cities, and certain sectors. The document outlines different facilities and initiatives aimed at addressing financing challenges along with their objectives, activities, and access mechanisms.
FPS FUNDING REPORT nov 2015
This document provides an overview of funding routes for asset management projects in the public sector. It discusses traditional sources of funding such as Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) borrowing as well as alternative sources like grants, private loans, partnerships, and tax incremental funding. The document emphasizes using a business case approach to evaluate options and choose the optimal funding mix by considering factors like costs, risks, and project requirements. It also provides examples of innovative funding deals recently utilized by various UK local authorities.

Quatre Managed Legacy Funds Solution – Quatre Guernsey Limited
London-based financial services company Quatre Ltd, has just launched a new solution known as the QUATRE MANAGED LEGACY FUNDS SOLUTION.
It is designed to fund the decommissioning of oil and gas fields and rehabilitation of other extractive industrial locations including mines. Quatre Limited was founded in 2013 to provide oil and gas licensees and other extractive industries with sustainable decommissioning management solutions to optimise their long-term financial planning.
Quatre’s Exit Strategy Management Solution (ESMS) evaluates Clients’ portfolio-specific exposure to the cost decommissioning of onshore and offshore wells and the reclamation of offshore and onshore facilities. Quatre has successfully applied this solution to other environmentally sensitive sectors, including mining and landfill regeneration.
Current estimates for global decommissioning costs run in excess 200 Billion dollars over the next 50 years, representing an unprecedented capital spend on an activity where operator’s and service providers’ experience is still relatively immature.
The Quatre team includes expertise across the fields of financial services, insurance brokerage, investment management, legal, taxation, trust management, E&P Operations and environmental liabilities.
Session 4 - Presentation by Andreas Lunding, Green Climate Fund
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) was established by the UNFCCC to combat climate change and aims to keep global temperature rise below 2°C, with its Private Sector Facility (PSF) providing financing to catalyze private investment in climate projects in developing countries. The PSF offers various financial instruments like debt, equity and guarantees to unlock private climate finance and has already invested over $1 billion across 11 projects focusing on areas like renewable energy, energy efficiency and climate-resilient infrastructure.
Legacy fund brochure may 2018

The Legacy Funds are independently managed and provide bankruptcy protection for committed decommissioning costs. Quatre's services help clients meet sustainability goals while optimizing long-term financial planning for environmental liabilities.
Final Project ms
The document describes the Energy Service Co-Fund (ESCO-F) model, which aims to attract private sector investment in energy efficiency projects for public facilities in developing countries. The ESCO-F will provide low-interest capital financing and technical support to de-risk projects and mobilize private funds. It will work with public sector clients like schools and hospitals to implement retrofits and replace outdated technologies. The goal is to both reduce energy costs for governments and lower carbon emissions through more efficient infrastructure.
Global South Feminist Perspectives on Climate Finance
This document discusses global south feminist perspectives on climate finance. It summarizes that climate finance comes primarily from industrialized developed countries, philanthropists, and the private sector. However, the current design of climate finance channels money in ways that are modeled on colonial perceptions, promote capitalist ideology, and give decision-making power to wealthy stakeholders located primarily in developed countries. This marginalizes local contexts and women. The document recommends that developed countries contribute more to climate funds, debt-for-nature swaps be negotiated, a global wealth tax be implemented, intermediaries be eliminated, and technical sharing replace intermediaries.
Climate finance clapp(cicero) financial instruments-ccxg gf sep2014
The document discusses financial instruments that could be mobilized in a 2015 international climate agreement to support climate action. It outlines several aims of mobilizing climate finance, including targeting adaptation in vulnerable countries and shifting investments from high-carbon to low-carbon options. A range of financial instruments are presented, from grants and de-risking mechanisms to various debt and equity instruments. The document argues that a 2015 agreement should explicitly encourage the full use of relevant financial tools to scale up climate action and facilitate information sharing on innovative instruments.

F4A V0.45 Presentation
This document discusses 12 interlinked projects called F4A (Finance 4 Agriculture) that are designed to bridge the gap in agricultural finance in Kenya. The projects include capacity building for financial institutions, credit scoring tools, guarantees and insurance solutions, establishing a new finance company, supply chain finance, assessments of agribusinesses, an online agribusiness portal, basic and advanced agribusiness graduation programs, and establishing a multi-stakeholder platform. The overall goal is to increase lending from financial institutions to agribusiness small and medium enterprises and producer organizations.
Project finance
Project financing has become widely used in India for large capital intensive infrastructure projects. It involves borrowing funds for a project before construction is complete, with lenders looking primarily to the project's cash flows and assets for repayment rather than the sponsor's balance sheet. Key to project financing is allocating risks through long-term contracts between the project company, construction firms, fuel/offtake suppliers and operators. Project financing emerged in the 1970s for power projects and has since been used for various industries like mining, transportation and manufacturing.
Venture capital 1
Project financing has become widely used in India for large capital projects. It allows projects to be financed through non-recourse loans, with lenders looking primarily to the cash flows generated by the project rather than the sponsoring company. Key elements include borrowing before construction is complete and limiting lenders' recourse to project assets and revenues. Major agreements include construction contracts, fuel and off-take agreements, and loan documents that dedicate project cash flows to debt repayment. Project financing is commonly used for infrastructure, energy, and industrial facilities.

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.
OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.
OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Presented at June 6-7 Texas Alliance of Groundwater Districts Business MeetingBorder towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Muhammed Sayed, DBSA - Climate Finance Facility
- 1. FP098 CLIMATE FINANCE FACILITY (CFF) A debt facility to catalyse private capital to support private sector projects that are low emissions and climate resilient
- 2. THE CLIMATE FINANCE FACILITY – OVERVIEW 2 ▪ It is a structured finance platform that will have initial committed debt funding of R2 billion. ▪ It aims to support projects that mitigate or adapt to climate change. ▪ Co-funded by Development Bank of southern Africa and Green Climate Fund. What is the CFF? ▪ Its intention is to “crowd in” or catalyse private sector funding by co-funding alongside developmental and private sector financial institutions to try and achieve a 1:5 leverage. ▪ It is a ZAR facility targeted and available to co-fund private sector projects in South Africa, eSwatini, Lesotho and Namibia – countries in the common monetary union. ▪ It does so by offering credit enhancement products in the form of a first loss or subordinated funding and tenor extension (up to 15 years). ▪ By taking a blended finance approach with highly concessional funding that is being provided by the Green Climate Fund, the CFF can offer long term competitively priced funding. How will it do this?
- 3. EVOLUTION OF THE CFF The CFF is modelled on the “Green Bank” concept and is the first of its kind on the African continent, and arguably in the developing world. The CFF supports the DBSA’s commitment to support and promote the UN SDGs, as well as countries’ nationally determined contributions NDCs committed to under the Paris Accord. 3 Programming the R1.1bn Green Fund allocation from DEA April 2012 Development of DBSA and third party pipeline to access GEF funding October 2014 – ongoing DBSA accreditation to Green Climate Fund (GCF) Development of DBSA and third party pipeline to access GCF funding May 2016 Continued implementation of board approved “Green Bank” within DBSA Internal approval of CFF Board approval of DBSA CFF capitalisation October 2018
