The Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) is hosting a webinar on 4 December 2024, 15:00-16:30 CET on the topic of “Climate Finance Transparency.” The webinar will be conducted in English, French and Spanish with simultaneous interpretaion.
Climate finance transparency refers to frameworks for estimating, tracking, and reporting of financial flows needed, committed, or used for climate action at the national level. It enhances countries’ capacity to effectively manage resources for climate change mitigation and adaptation, including estimating financial needs for climate actions and associated impact towards national climate targets. Additionally, it helps report domestically and internationally on climate finance flows, building trust among countries and stakeholders.
The new ICAT Climate Finance Transparency Guide, developed with the support of the Center for Clean Air Policy, provides methodological guidance for developing countries to establish and implement climate finance transparency frameworks. It focuses on collecting data on financial support needed and received, aligning with the reporting requirements under the Paris Agreement’s enhanced transparency framework.
This webinar will explore the topic of climate finance transparency, with a focus on the functionalities and uses of the new ICAT guide. It will include contributions from international climate finance experts and perspectives from country representatives.
When: 4 December 2024, 15:00-16:30 CET
