We are not short of Financial Instruments to address Climate Change:
Sources International NationalPublicFinance
- Official Development Aid- Multilateral Funds (Global Environment Facility, GEF)
- Phase out subsidies on conventional energies- Tax rebates & Tax Credits- Subsidies on Clean Technologies- Low or zero interest rate for loans
PrivateFinance
-Carbon Finance (CDM, voluntary, REDD, ETS…) - Private Equity Funds- Green or White (Energy Efficiency) Certificates- Foundations
- Demand Side Management- New Insurance services- Tax Credit- Green municipal funds
PublicPolicies
- Tax on Financial transaction (Tobin)- Tax on Airline tickets- Global Tax on Carbon- IMF Special Drawing Rights- Wipe out exterior debts
- National Tax on Carbon- Energy Tax- Auctioning of GHG quotas- Feed-in Tariff for Renewable Energy

Key operational provisions for development from the Copenhagen
Accord:1. $30bn pledged by developed countries between 2010 & 2012 for mitigation and adaptation inclusive.• New and additional• Priority access for SIDS, LDCs, Africa.
2. 2020 Target : $100bn/year• “in the context of meaningful mitigation actions
and transparency”• Come from a wider variety of sources
3. Creation of Copenhagen Green Climate Fund (CGCF) as an operating entity of the financial mechanism• GEF no longer only operating entity• Support all main Bali Road Map areas
Key operational provisions for development from the Copenhagen
Accord:4. Creation of a Technology Mechanism in support of mitigation and adaptation• Country-driven and based on national priorities
5. Establishment of a forestry mechanism around REDD+
6. Monitoring, Reporting & Verification (MRV) of actions and financial flows

National Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) may condition future financial mechanism
• Developing countries invited to develop low emission development strategies that include NAMAs
• Developed countries will provide financing, capacity building and technology for some NAMAs, although the means for deciding which is unclear
• Supported NAMAs will likely be internationally recorded in a registry, and their implementation monitored, reviewed, and verified (MRV)
UNDP’s message to National Government: Let’s get ready for any future financial mechanism
• Green Fund will not be a silver bullet
• National coordination is essential for governments to access, coordinate, sequence & combine climate finance (e.g. MDCFs next slide)
• National Strategies can guide the flow of funds:=> National Communications to UNFCCC, TNA,
NAMA, NAPA, IF&F…
