Much confusion over this part of the Paris Agreement stems from a narrow perspective that it is only about the climate-consistency of public finance flows. Such an understanding is purely focussed on domestic public finance, such as calls to stop governments subsidising fossil fuels or permitting further oil and gas exploration. A slightly broader perspective incorporates the alignment of international public finance, such as financial resources committed by developed countries to assist developing countries as part of overseas development aid, or as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lse.ac.uk\/granthaminstitute\/explainers\/what-is-climate-finance-and-where-will-it-come-from\/\">climate finance<\/a> under Article 9 of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But from a central banking perspective, Article 2.1(c) encompasses a much broader understanding still of the climate-consistency of <em>private<\/em> as well as public financial flows.

As set out in the NGFS submission, central banks cannot compensate or &ldquo;substitute for firms or households in their investment and consumption decisions nor compensate for gaps in climate policies&rdquo;. They are also unable to regulate the behaviour of informal enterprises or private equity. This means that there needs to be a strong linkage between their climate finance commitments, and that their mandate can support financial inclusion.
