Both North and South Face Climate Risks
Wealthier nations bear historical responsibility and must contribute more to climate finance.
Who Should Pay for the Climate Crisis?
Incentivizing private investments with higher returns can attract more funding for green projects.
Boosting Climate Finance through Private Investment
Backstop loans for renewable energy can reduce risks for investors, encouraging more green projects.
