SUMMARY:COP28 Side Event: Climate Resilient Fiscal Planning
DESCRIPTION:The adverse impacts of climate change on human and natural systems will continue to intensify under observed and projected climate scenarios.\n\nDespite progress\, adaptation gaps exist\, and will continue to grow at current rates of implementation. Most adaptation responses are fragmented and incremental.\n\nThere is a rapidly narrowing window of opportunity to enable climate resilient development. There is a need to invest in adaptation that will enable system transition and transformation (IPCC\, AR6).\n\nThe adaptation finance needed to implement domestic adaptation priorities is estimated at US$387 billion per year. Current flows of adaptation finance stand at US$63 billion. In recognition of the financing gap\, the Paris Goal on Finance identifies the need to not only ‘scale-up billions of financial flows for adaptation\, but to fundamentally align the trillions of public and private financial flows and investment with adaptation and resilience’.\n\nCentral Finance Agencies play a key role in mobilizing and allocating public and private finance for investment in adaptation. At COP27 the Coalition of Finance Ministers released a report on Climate Change Adaptation and Role of the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action to guide the Coalition’s work on adaptation – including use of economic and fiscal instruments to align finance with investment in climate adaptation.\n\nADB is supporting developing member countries (DMCs) to strengthen fiscal systems to scale-up and align finance with investment in climate adaptation.\nObjectives\nThe side event at COP28 will provide a platform for Finance Ministers representing countries in Asia and the Pacific to share and identify actions to scale-up and align finance with investment in adaptation and resilience.\nAgenda\n\n\n\nTime\nSession\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n1:00 – 1:15 p.m.\nOpening Remarks and Report Launch\nMasatsugu Asakawa\, President\, ADB\nHenry Musasizi (Member of Parliament)\, Minister of State for Finance Planning and Economic Development\, Government of Uganda\n\n\n1:15 – 1:30 p.m.\nFiscal Policy for Enhancing Fiscal Space and Attracting Private Capital for Climate Adaptation and Resilience\nADB\n\n\n1:30 – 2:15 p.m.\nHigh-Level Panel Discussion: Fiscal policy to scale-up adaptation finance in Asia and the Pacific\nFacilitator:\nBruno Carrasco\, Director General\, ADB\n\nPanelists:\nRatu Nemia Navuwai Dawai\, Head of Treasury (seconded to the World Bank)\, Ministry of Finance\, Government of Fiji\nChandni Raina\, Economic Adviser\, Climate Change Finance Unit\, Department of Economic Affairs\, Ministry of Finance\, Government of India\nBoby Wahyu Hernawan\, Director of Center for Climate Finance and Multilateral Policy\, Ministry of Finance\, Government of Indonesia\nMaria Luwalhati C.

SUMMARY:Scaling Domestic Resources for Adaptation and Resilience with the Sustainable Budgeting Approach
DESCRIPTION:The University of Oxford\, in partnership with the Republic of Rwanda\, United Nations Economic Commission for Africa\, and United Nations Environment Programme\, is hosting an event on “Scaling Domestic Resources for Adaptation and Resilience with the Sustainable Budgeting Approach” at the Rwanda Pavilion in the Blue Zone\, Expo City Dubai\, on December 3\, 2023\, from 15:00-16:00.\nThe purpose of the event is to highlight and discuss opportunities to align domestic finance and budgeting with the simultaneous objectives of accelerating development and climate action. This session will address the opportunity to align domestic finance and budgeting with the simultaneous objectives of accelerating development and progressing on climate priorities. Objectives towards mitigation\, adaptation\,and resilience\, will all be addressed. As the climate finance gap continues to grow\, there is a need for much more external and internal finance to support climate objectives. This event emphasizes the direct potential of internal finance to catalyze action and associated scope to incentivize much greater quantities of external finance. the Discussion will be framed with an introduction to the Sustainable Budgeting Approach and a high-profile case study on the unintended impacts of COVID-19 spending on adaptation and resilience. Panelists will then respond to these materials\, highlighting opportunities they see to integrate resilience to fiscal practices and to build a blueprint for future strategies. The event is a partnership between leading institutions including Oxford University\, the UN Economic Commission for Africa\, and the UN Environment Programme\, ensuring a rich exchange of globally informed\, regionally applicable insights. Policymakers will emerge with enhanced strategies for sustainable budgeting\, crucial for climate preparedness and action in Africa and the world. \nThis event aims to deepen policy makers’ understanding of how to better align domestic public finance to climate change goals\, while maintaining sovereign development priorities. The session will also present concrete fiscal policy tools and other financing options to facilitate domestic investment in mitigation\, adaptation\,and resilience. Implementing these tools can lead to more effective domestic resource allocation\, as well as enhanced fiscal transparency. This\, in turn\, can potentially catalyse higher market trust\, improved credit ratings and increased access to lower-cost international finance.\n\n

SUMMARY:Committee on Macroeconomic Policy\, Poverty Reduction and Financing for Development\, Fourth Session
DESCRIPTION:The fourth session of the Committee on Macroeconomic Policy\, Poverty Reduction and Financing for Development of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) will be held at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok and online from 1 to 3 November 2023. \nEconomies around the globe\, including in Asia and the Pacific\, are facing difficult macroeconomic conditions. Together with weak economic growth prospects and high inflation\, they are experiencing elevated interest rates\, a constrained fiscal space and rising public debt levels. In such circumstances\, adequately financing efforts aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and at climate action will not be an easy task. Policymakers need to respond to the immediate macroeconomic challenges while not losing sight of long-term sustainable development ambitions. \n\n\n\n\nIn this context\, the Committee will focus on assessing the impacts of investments in the Sustainable Development Goals on public debt sustainability and accelerating sustainable finance. The work of the Committee will be carried out with three main objectives: (a) to increase understanding of the need for\, and the policy implications of\, a long-term public debt sustainability analysis that takes into consideration investments in the Sustainable Development Goals and climate action; (b) to review and develop a consensus on the broad principles underpinning the actions needed to scale up sustainable finance in Asia and the Pacific and understand their policy implications; and (c) to discuss the future direction of the work under the subprogramme\, with a focus on financing for development and on engagement with the Consultative Group on Financing Strategies for the Sustainable Development Goals\, which was established by the Committee at its third session\, held in October 2021. \nVarious analytical and knowledge products will be shared to enrich the discussions of the Committee and the experience of the participants. High-level panel discussions and side events will be organized with a view to boosting affordable and longer-term financing for Governments and exploring the nexus between climate change and debt vulnerabilities. \nTo register please click here\, or here to be directed to the official event page.

SUMMARY:The Elephant in the Room: How the G20 can veer from record fossil fuel support
DESCRIPTION:In 2009\, G20 governments committed to phasing out and rationalizing inefficient fossil fuel subsidies in the medium term\, but 14 years later\, the countries spent a record amount of public money to support coal\, oil\, and gas. What’s more\, the issue of fossil fuel subsidies is notoriously absent in this year’s G20 agenda ahead of the Delhi Summit in September. With extreme weather events increasingly ravaging the globe\, there is an urgent need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels by shifting public financial flows away from them to directly support people and speed up the clean energy transition instead. \nThis webinar will offer a first glimpse at the findings of a new study by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and partners\, examining the volume of public financial support for fossil fuels in the G20 last year. The event will provide insights into how G20 countries can honour their subsidy reform commitments\, with speakers taking a close look at the trends\, challenges\, and opportunities associated with ending public support for fossil fuels.\nRegister Now! \nAgenda \nWelcome: Aarti Khosla\, Founder and Director\, Climate Trends \nFanning the Flames: Study overview: Tara Laan\, Senior Associate\, IISD \nPanel Discussion: \nDiala Hawila\, Programme Officer\, International Renewable Energy Agency\nNate Vernon\, Economist\, International Monetary Fund\nLivi Gerbase\, Policy Advisor\, Instituto de Estudos Socioeconômicos\nRepresentative (TBD)\, Environment and Climate Change Canada \nQ&A \nClosing Remarks: Shruti Sharma\, Senior Policy Advisor\, IISD

SUMMARY:The Role of Emissions Trading in Financing the Green Transition | Wednesday 29th March 14:00 CEST
DESCRIPTION:The International Carbon Action Partnership will hold the event in the “ETS for Policy Practitioners Webinar Series” — “The Role of Emissions Trading in Financing the Green Transition”. Register here.\n\nEmissions trading systems have grown in recent years as a tool to finance climate change mitigation and adaptation activities\, and to promote sustainable development. By setting a price on carbon emissions\, they create incentives for investment in low-carbon technologies\, rendering these more attractive than their fossil-based counterparts. Revenues from emissions trading are also increasingly used to fund public investment in low-carbon innovation\, de-risking early-stage technologies and helping to scale up necessary mitigation options. What have we learned to date about the intersection of emissions trading and finance? How are carbon markets shaping climate-related investment? Panellists will address these questions in the upcoming instalment of the ICAP webinar series “ETS for Policy Practitioners”.\n\nThe upcoming webinar will take place on Wednesday 29th March\, 14:00 – 15:30 CEST.\n\nThe following experts will provide their insights:\n\n 	Soffia Alarcon-Diaz\, Associate Director\, Americas at Schneider Electric Sustainability Business\n 	Ingmar Juergens\, CEO and Co-Founder at Climate & Company\n\nMichael Mehling\, Deputy Director at the Center for Energy and Environmental Policy\, MIT will be moderating the session.\n\nPlease register here for the event.

SUMMARY:Tracking climate-consistent finance flows
DESCRIPTION:How much progress are we making on the third long-term goal of the Paris Agreement? Article 2.1(c) seeks to make finance flows ‘consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate-resilient development’. Some countries are making huge strides towards ensuring that their finance flows are Paris-aligned. However\, little is known about collective progress against Article 2.1(c) despite its importance as part of the Global Stocktake (GST) of the Paris Agreement implementation in 2023. To guide discussions around Article 2.1(c) at CoP28 in Dubai\, this event will develop thinking around a framework for tracking progress towards Article 2.1(c). Panellists offer a variety of global and country-level perspectives to lay out the challenges\, opportunities and needs of such a framework and how it can be integrated into the UNFCCC-related processes. \nHeld by ODI\, Germanwatch and iGST. \n\n\n\nThis event is online only\, and will be livestreamed to the public on the day. \nRegister here to receive a calendar invite\, URL and reminder.

SUMMARY:COP 27 Side Event | Measuring Fossil Fuel Subsidies in the Context of the SDGs: Increasing transparency in times of high energy prices
DESCRIPTION:Fossil fuel subsidies have many negative economic\, social\, and environmental consequences. Under SDG 12\, United Nations member states committed to rationalize inefficient fossil fuel subsidies. To measure progress on this target\, SDG indicator 12.c.1 tracks the global size of fossil fuel subsidies\, primarily using data provided by international organizations. Despite being classified as a Tier I indicator\, the data reported varies in terms of depth and scope depending on the country.\n\nTo improve the quality of the data and better inform policy making\, SDG 12.c.1 aims to make this data collection process more country-driven with governments taking full ownership. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)\, the custodian agency of this indicator\, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)\, and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) have therefore collaborated in developing a methodology to provide governments with guidance and to build capacity through various regional workshops. Yet\, only few UN member states have submitted data so far.\n\nThis session\, organized by IISD with support from UNEP\, aims to raise awareness about how this indicator can help increase transparency about fossil fuel subsidies. This comes at a critical moment when many governments are adopting new subsidies to shield their populations and economies from current high energy prices or to ensure a stable energy supply\, which is becoming a large drain on their budgets.\n\nThe session will also highlight the latest available global fossil fuel subsidy data and invite governments from both the Global North and South to present their approaches to measuring their fossil fuel subsidies to allow sharing of good practices.\n\nThe event will take place on November 11\, 2022 at 15:15 – 16:15 (Cairo time) at the SDG Pavilion of COP27. The event will also be broadcasted online.\n\nHere to read more and register the event.\n\n

SUMMARY:Shifting Taxes in order to Achieve Green Goals
DESCRIPTION:How could shifting the tax burden from labour to pollution and resources help the EU reach its climate goals? \nTaxation is a key component to fulfilling the EU’s climate goals. To reduce carbon emissions\, and achieve a sustainable economy more generally\, incentives have to be in alignment with green policy objectives. One of the ways to do this is by shifting the tax burden from labour towards pollution and resources. Hopefully\, that would also lead to a decrease in unemployment and to job creation. \nIn this event\, jointly organised with Goldschmeding Foundation and Ex’Tax\, we will hear from the creators of the Ex’Tax project. They will present their proposal and in the subsequent discussion we will examine the possible implementation with representatives of EU member states.

SUMMARY:UNEP-UNECE SDG Indicator 12.C.1 Online Training
DESCRIPTION:High-level presentation and technical training workshop on Indicator 12.c.1 of the Sustainable Development Goals  \nAmount of fossil-fuel subsidies per unit of GDP (production and consumption) \nand as a proportion of total national expenditure on fossil fuels \n23-24-25 May 2022\, 09.00 – 12.00 Geneva time (CEST/GMT +2 hours)   \nThe scale and impact of fossil fuel subsidies imply challenges and opportunities on the path to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). On the one hand\, the use of fossil fuels and their promotion through subsidy schemes negatively affects the ability of governments to achieve key goals\, such as reducing poverty\, improving health\, achieving gender equality\, access to energy and combating climate change. At the same time\, it is necessary to ensure that poor households\, which are particularly vulnerable to price increases\, can obtain or maintain access to energy.\n\nUNEP and UN ECE co-organised this training for relevant stakeholders. This training provided participants with a clear understanding of the methodology developed for measuring fossil fuel subsidies through SDG12.c.1 and included a presentation of the template\, as well as definitions and national experiences of fossil fuel statistics\, globally and in the European region. The meeting saw over 80 participants. Participants were encouraged to be part to the event through series of exercises and group discussion.

SUMMARY:OECD Forum on Green Finance and Investment
DESCRIPTION:While green finance markets have grown substantially in the past decade\, most of the hard work of financing and implementing the low-carbon transition remains. The bulk of global economic activity remains emissions-intensive\, and transition finance is still in its infancy. Long-term low-emissions strategies and associated policies to align with or converge towards net-zero emission pathways are needed quickly if this is truly to be the decade for climate action.  \nFurther\, effective market instruments for climate transition\, and efficient market pricing of climate risks and opportunities\, are critical to incentivise action and make progress towards climate and environmental objectives. These actions and other steps towards economic transformation\, will need to occur in the context of ongoing COVID-19 challenges and recovery\, and synergies between climate action and broader well-being objectives will need to be realised and maximized. \nThis pioneering annual event convenes leading actors across the green finance community to help catalyze and support the transition to a green\, low-emissions and climate-resilient global economy. 		\n	\n			Learn More and Register		\n			Go

SUMMARY:3rd World Bank Tax Conference: New Tax Instruments
DESCRIPTION:The 3rd World Bank Tax Conference\, co-organized with the TaxDev Centre\, will bring together leading researchers and policy makers to discuss recent research on new tax instruments\, including carbon taxes and other environmental taxes\, taxes on the digital economy\, and novel sin taxes such as taxes on carbonated drinks. \nIn the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic\, the need for countries to raise government revenue is immense\, as is the need to tax in an equitable and efficient manner. Meanwhile\, the nature of our economies is changing rapidly. Climate change continues almost unabatedly\, the size of the digital economy is growing exponentially\, and many countries face rising rates of obesity. Governments are exploring new tax instruments to address negative externalities and finance public goods provision in this fast-changing world. \nThe conference will feature a keynote address by Professor Carolyn Fischer\, Canada 150 Research Chair in Climate Economics at the University of Ottawa and Professor of Environmental Economics at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam\, research presentations and academic discussions\, and a special session in which policy makers will present policy proposals and receive feedback from academics. \n\nLearn More\nGo
