This independent group was tasked to help develop and put forward policy options and recommendations to encourage and enable the public and private investment and finance necessary for delivery of the commitments, ambition, initiatives and targets of the UNFCCC Paris Agreement, reinforced by the Glasgow Climate Pact, the Sharm el-Sheikh agenda, and the COP28 Global Climate Finance Framework. This is the third report of the Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report updates the IHLEG’s previous estimates of investment requirements for climate action and sets out the action agenda to deliver the necessary finance for investment in emerging markets and developing countries (EMDCs) other than China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report covers the investment imperative for climate action and the opportunities this presents; pathways to scaling up climate finance to achieve the Paris Agreement goals; how to accelerate delivery, from unlocking investment at scale to managing debt to further mobilising the multilateral development banks and beyond; and the importance of tracking and monitoring delivery. Refining the approach used by the IHLEG previously, this report provides updated estimates of investment needs of what is required for delivery on the Paris Agreement across five crucial areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
