On 13 November 2024, Diplomatic Courier, a global affairs media network, published an article by Mark Akrofi (Postdoctoral Fellow, UNU-IAS) discussing the central role of climate finance in achieving an inclusive and fair transition to a climate–resilient, low–carbon society.
The piece was published in connection with the 2024 UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP29).
Excerpt:
The primary challenge confronting the attainment of the Paris goal is finance. Recognizing this, finance has been adopted as the key theme of this year’s COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Dubbed the ‘finance COP,’ this year’s meeting is expected to usher in a New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQGC), a global climate finance goal that is expected to facilitate an inclusive and fair transition to a carbon neutral world.
