A Climate Change Series by the IACA Section - Part 1
Aligning finance with climate policy goals is crucial for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing resilience to climate change. Policymaking and investment decisions aimed at such alignment must be informed by robust assessments.
This webinar will present the best available evidence on three core questions:
How is the climate alignment of finance assessed?
What do we know about current financial flows and stocks?
What evidence exists on the role of financial sector policies and actions?
