The document discusses the Asia-Pacific Carbon Forum 2016. It outlines some of the challenges to mobilizing climate finance in the region, including a lack of appropriate financing instruments for long-term projects, information asymmetry between lenders and borrowers, and a lack of analytical capacity to assess climate-related credit risks and asset valuations. It also provides data on funding proposals approved by the Green Climate Fund, including the total amount, number of projects, and breakdown of funding by public versus private sources. Finally, it raises the question of whether the Green Climate Fund is ready to help address some of the knowledge and policy barriers to mobilizing more climate finance in the region.
