About the Event:
Climate finance is central to meeting international legal climate obligations and driving policy and operational change on climate action locally, transnationally, and globally. The outcome of the 29th meeting of the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (COP29) in Baku Azerbaijan, November 2024 (dubbed the ‘Finance COP’) was a new global finance goal and a framework for raising ambition for climate finance in the run-up to COP30 in Belém, Brazil in November 2025. The agreement for a New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) commits developed countries to ‘lead’ on mobilising at least US$300 billion in climate finance annually by 2035 and sets into motion a pathway to work towards a scaling up of finance to US$1.3 trillion a year by 2035.
