This document draws on CPI’s experience developing several national landscapes of climate finance in various countries throughout the past ten years. While not a comprehensive instruction manual, CPI hopes that this will help guide government officials and practitioners looking to track climate finance using their Landscape approach.
The Climate Action Aggregation Tool (CAAT) distils the step-by-step process laid out in the ICAT Non-State and Subnational Action Guide and was developed to support government experts, analysts and policymakers to identify, quantify and aggregate the impact of non-state and subnational actions.
The information in this research has been organised into synthesis narratives accompanied by a series of tables that capture the characteristics of each NbS applied to each landscape to achieve agricultural production; climate (mitigation and adaptation), conservation (land, water, biodiversity) and other co-benefits.
This guide serves to assist stakeholders in monitoring tree-based restoration, with a focus on trees outside forests, such as trees on agricultural and pastoral landscapes and within cities and towns—using a Collect Earth mapathon approach.
This report examines IFC’s two decades of experience supporting pioneering projects with blended concessional finance. The report addresses issues such as why and when concessional finance is appropriate to support private sector projects; the key transparency, access, and governance processes required to implement projects efficiently and effectively; the principles for selecting and structuring projects; how to use blended concessional finance to invest in lower-income countries; and the different ways of structuring concessional finance facilities used by DFIs.
This report aims to support growth of the field of gender-smart climate investment by raising awareness of an integrated gender and climate lens, building the case for mainstreaming gender-smart climate finance, and showcasing the versatility, impact or promise of this approach through examples of direct deals and projects that merge gender and climate objectives
In agricultural landscapes, nature-based solutions (NbS) can be applied for soil health, soil moisture, carbon mitigation (through soil and forestry), downstream water quality protections, biodiversity benefits as well as agricultural production and supply chains to achieve net-zero environmental impacts while achieving food and water security, and meet climate goals.
This brief presents how – in multiple critical economic sectors or systems (buildings, appliances, urban environments, cold chains, and R&D) – national governments can reorient public policy and include cooling in their recovery packages. This would support efforts to halt the pandemic, spur economic recovery, create and protect jobs for vulnerable populations, help strengthen resilience, and accelerate the transition to efficient, climate‐friendly cooling technologies and solutions.
This paper outlines more than five years of action research, including collaborative research and dialogue between IIED, WRI and more than 50 adaptation stakeholders in support of the Global Commission on Adaptation’s Locally Led Adaptation Track.
Energy use in buildings contributes more than 17.5 percent to global greenhouse gas emissions, and their construction is a key driver behind demand for steel and cement, which together are responsible for another 10.2 percent of emissions. Decarbonising the real estate sector is vital to reach net zero emission targets by 2050. This report sets out recommendations for investor to engage with this crucial industry.
