📢 Beyond the Public-Private Divide in Climate Finance The $1.3T annual climate finance target from COP29 highlights a crucial challenge: how do we bridge public and private investment? The answer lies in creating trust through transparency. Here's how: 1️⃣ ITMOs provide the regulatory framework, allowing private projects to align with national climate commitments 2️⃣ Technology ensures trust: • Real-time impact monitoring • Blockchain-based traceability • Automated verification 3️⃣ The SVD framework makes it operational: • Standardized measurement • Clear metrics • Reduced verification costs • Seamless market integration The result? A virtuous cycle where private projects deliver public goals, risks are reduced, and more capital flows to climate solutions. The tools exist. The frameworks are ready. Time to scale up. #ClimateFinance #Sustainability #ClimateAction #COP29 #ImpactInvesting What are your thoughts on bridging this gap? Share your perspective below 👇

Did you know 12 climate technologies represent 90% of the abatement potential for the world? These technologies are proven and the challenge will be how we scale them fast enough. During our COP29 session on climate technologies, we sat down with entrepreneurs discussing their strategies, challenges, and triumphs in scaling high-impact solutions. They shared key insights and emphasized the critical roles of business models, government support, and regulatory shifts. Watch the full session here: https://lnkd.in/dVTW8fkb #COP29 #McKinseyAtCOP

We need climate finance to accelerate efforts in the next few years. There is no runway yet. We need the runway. Anything is better than posturing, burning fuel to meet and not really lifting off. Do read Kavin Kumar Kandasamy article on #financialexpress where he talks about the need for accelerating climate finance to the global south and emerging economies. We are in this together. If it affects one of us, it affects all of us. #cop29 #baku #climatefinance #carbontransition #climatejustice #energyindependence #cleanenergy

The first day of #COP29 saw the adoption of new operational standards for Article 6.4 of the #ParisAgreement, paving the way for a global carbon market. This marks an important development in bridging the climate finance gap. ProClime's CEO Kavin Kumar Kandasamy, weighed in on the importance of robust carbon markets in The Financial Express: “Well-designed carbon markets can mobilise substantial private and public investment, particularly in developing countries, creating pathways for companies to take responsibility for their emissions while fostering innovation in low-carbon technologies.” Read the whole article here: https://zurl.co/72Jv #Article6 #CarbonMarkets #ClimateFinance

Partner #COP29 Event invitation! What are the potential benefits of closing the adaptation finance gap? It’s estimated that every $1 a company invests in climate adaptation and resilience can yield $2 to $15 in financial benefits. That’s why Top Tier Impact is hosting an exclusive investment event during COP29 -  gathering asset owners, corporates, global leaders, innovators, and the press to accelerate climate action. They’ll explore how finance, innovation, and collaboration can boost resilience in the face of climate challenges. Will you join us?

The panel "Closing the Gap: Innovative Finance for Global Sustainability" explores how financial institutions are investing in the green transition and the importance of viable company transition plans in accessing that finance. This panel is moderated by Sagarika Chatterjee of High-Level Climate Champions and joined by Kirstine Damkjaer of UNOPS, Manfred Schepers of ILX Management, and Rowan Douglas CBE of Howden. This discussion will separate the talk from the action on public-private partnerships and identify where these partnerships are empowering planet profits for finance and business.

With over 15,500 companies, financial institutions, cities, states, regions, and academic institutions from over 150 countries participating in the #RaceToZero, significant strides are being made towards our 2030 targets. However, to drive real change, we need voluntary action that fosters a supportive policy environment and mobilises climate finance for investable Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). At #COP29, the Race to Zero community is ready to lead and drive momentum for net-zero initiatives. Together, we can support governments in developing implementable climate plans and advance net-zero frontier actions.

Mark your calendar: November 12 and 13 at #COP29, take part in two critical conversations on the intersection of policy and private investment in the energy transition. http://ms.spr.ly/6048WXJYE 📌 Nov 12 | What’s next in climate finance Two expert panels co-hosted by MSCI and BCG will explore private finance’s role in a just energy transition and practical strategies for adaptation and resilience investing. 📌 Nov 13 | Unlocking the capital spectrum – decarbonization finance for developing economies Join our Blue-Zone forum at #COP29 to explore the role how effective policy and targeted financing are powering the net-zero transition in developing economies. #ClimateFinance #Sustainability #ClimateAction

💡Our colleague Aayushi Singh was featured in the International Institute for Sustainable Development's follow-up article on the event "Accelerating 2050 Net-Zero Implementation: Leveraging Technology and Market-Based Instruments" at #COP29👏🏽 Aayushi discussed how #carbonmarkets can combat climate change by incentivizing reduction and addressing technology gaps. Additionally, she emphasized how integrity of carbon markets is crucial to meet #ParisAgreement goals, which can be done through principles like setting stringent baselines, additionality, no double counting, do-no-harm, avoiding and addressing reversals/leakages, and robust MRV.

We are thrilled to see the work of our Chief Scientific Advisor, Alissa M. Kleinnijenhuis, presented on #COP29’s "Finance Day" through her Nature article on climate finance. Her research emphasises that climate finance is an essential investment—not charity—highlighting the need for robust financial flows to meet net-zero targets. World leaders at COP29 are echoing this core message. At #ForwardAnalytics, we support these research insights through academic partnerships and with our Digital Transition Twin data, providing a curated dataset of transition-related indicators, including emissions intensities, ownership relationships, transition plans, and firm financials for around 35,000 private and public firms and 250,000 physical assets across all climate-critical sectors. This enables novel approaches to quantifying the benefits and costs of decarbonisation efforts with unprecedented granularity and track progress against net-zero targets.
