Funding targeted to climate change
II.
Financial flows outside the UNFCCC
III. Work on innovative financing
IV. Follow-up activities and next steps
Funding targeted to climate change
• Bilateral activities of Parties
• Multilateral activities, e.g. The Global
Environment Facility in the period 19952003 provided around USD 1.35 billion in
grants to climate change activities and
another 6.2 billion has been leveraged
• Many others multilateral financial
opportunities, e.g. World Bank carbon
financing, Regional Banks, etc.
Funding targeted to climate change
• The Special Climate Change Fund will
finance projects relating to technology
transfer and adaptation (34 USD million, 1
pledged for TT)
• LDC Fund, implementation of NAPAs (33
million, 11 spent)
• Financial flows generated by JI/CDM
projects (2% of CDM proceedings for the
Adaptation Fund)
• Private sector investments

Workshop on innovative financing
• SBSTA 19 requested the secretariat to organize a
workshop on innovative options.., and to report on
the findings of the workshop to SBSTA 21;
• SBSTA 20 requested the EGTT to consider the
outcomes of the workshop and the workshop
report prepared by the secretariat with possible
recommendations for consideration by SBSTA 21
• The workshop took place on 27-29 September
2004 in Montreal, Canada
(FCCC/SBSTA/2004/11)
Conclusions from the workshop
• Technology needs assessments: they should form the basis for the
development of strategic plans to move the technology transfer
process forward
• Toolkits and handbooks: on innovative/non-innovative financing
of technology transfer projects are necessary for improving project
preparation and assessment to international standards. It would be
appropriate to develop a list of existing tools, software and models
appropriate to financing technology transfer projects and to
identify their gaps
• Training and capacity-building: capacity-building and training
programmes could be developed using the above mentioned “tool
kits and handbooks”
Conclusions from the workshop
• Enabling environments: Establishing the necessary enabling
environments, including removing barriers remains an essential
element not only in relation to financing but also to the overall
process of technology transfer
• Risk management: The provision of adequate tools for risk
management would be useful to mitigate risks and to improve the
quality of projects
• Dialogue: Continue dialogues with the private sector, engaging
both public and private sector financial institutions, SMEs and
entrepreneurs could be a future focus especially in developing
countries, as well as ECAs;
Conclusions from the workshop
• Several “new” investment instruments and institutes can play an
important role in TT, e.g. the role of ECAs, and the innovative
approaches brought about by the CDM and JI. Also, Seed
financing provided by donors has been indicated as an important
instrument to stimulate technology transfer.
• Financing is not a “bolt-on” element, which can be added at the
end of a process, but must be secured and embedded early in the
process
• Adaptation: the issue of financing the transfer of technologies for
adaptation could be considered within the EGTT work programme
and the forthcoming seminar on technologies for adaptation
Follow-up activities
• The EGTT work programme for 2005 includes the
organization of a follow-up workshop
• The secretariat will organize the workshop in October
2005
• The aim is to find solutions to reach financial closure of
proposals drawn from the results of the technology needs
assessments
• Continue to engage the private sector in the process
• Outcomes of the workshop will be presented at SBSTA 23
• A technical paper on innovative financing for SBSTA 24
• The Practitioner’s Guide to be prepared for SBSTA 25
Issues for reflections
• Is there a fundamental difference in funding adaptation
and mitigation? If yes, what?
• Is there sufficient funding available? Where and how
can be accessed?
• Are the results of the technology needs assessments
relating to technologies for adaptation attractive for the
financial community? If no, how can they be made
more attractive?
• How can the private sector be engaged?
