"CMIA helped to explain the potential for project-based mechanisms across a variety of constituencies and is a key voice driving the conversation on results-based finance and sector approaches for scaling-up emission reduction investments. We urgently need input from organisations like CMIA to operationalise Art 6 of the Paris Agreement."

LCAW Webinar: Carbon Markets & Finance to Support Risk Management and Build Resilience

15th July 2020 by CMIA

The full recording of CMIA and IETA’s London Climate Action Week webinar is available now.

Through 2020, not only are countries preparing to submit enhanced NDCs but also post-2020 climate finance pledges. These ambitious efforts now occur amid COVID impact and economic recovery backdrops – along with growing calls to address climate-related systemic risks to the financial sector.

Sharing private sector perspectives from across sectors and borders, this joint IETA-CMIA event examined the critical role of market mechanisms to support climate action, build resilience, and clean private investments at scale, while connecting-the-dots on how effective disclosure and risk mitigation can further support the power and impact of these market solutions to tackle climate change.
