Report on the workshops of the work programme on results-based finance to progress the full implementation of the activities referred to in decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 70. Note by the co-chairs.
Abstract

This report contains information on the outcomes of the two workshops held relating to the work programme on results-based finance for the full implementation of the activities referred to in decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 70. It contains summaries of the presentations made and the outcomes of the discussions that took place at both workshops. The
workshops addressed the three areas identified by the aforementioned work programme: (a) ways and means to transfer payments for results-based actions; (b) ways to incentivize noncarbon benefits; and (c) ways to improve the coordination of results-based finance. Several key points of convergence emerged during the discussions on ways and means to transfer
payments for results-based actions at the second workshop. At both workshops, issues requiring further consideration and/or elaboration were identified. In addition, this report presents the key elements for consideration in designing an architecture for results-based financing for the full implementation of the activities referred to in decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 70
