Purpose
There is a narrowing window of opportunity to halve emissions to ensure that global temperatures stay within the limits of the Paris Agreements on Climate Change for net-zero by 2050. While the biodiversity and biosecurity arenas are still building institutions for target setting and public-private collaboration, the threats of these crises are nonetheless just as imminent and important.
The emergence of new technologies, new consumer habits and disruptive business models are market drivers for change in an otherwise slow but needed political process. Major stakeholders need to work in partnership over the next decade to transform to cleaner industries and solutions, to combat the climate, biodiversity and health crises. For this reason, the main purpose of the International Climate Finance Centre is to create and promote opportunities for stakeholder engagement and multi-level governance and collaboration.
Climate Finance Ecosystem
The International Climate Finance Centre is a curated and growing network of relevant, high-level international organizations and decision-makers, that are actively motivated to participate in the rapid transition to a net-zero economy. Of those, the International Climate Finance Centre holds a number of long-term partnerships with globally leading governments, businesses, investors and international organisations.
