The Geoeconomics of Climate Finance | ORF
The global climate finance architecture tends to restrain emerging economies from mobilising and accessing global private commercial capital for energy transition. This brief explores the different global financial regulations that influence climate capital flows between countries, and argues that institutions must enhance their role in facilitating the optimal allocation of capital. It evaluates the role of Multilateral Development Banks from a risk management perspective; the International Financial Regulations from a reporting perspective; institutional investors from a return’s perspective; and finally, political consensus from a mobilisation perspective. The brief suggests that global financial regulations and climate policies can be aligned better with the needs and characteristics of emerging economies, to attract capital and resources required for climate mitigation and adaptation.
