Background

Developing countries face persistent challenges in accessing and deploying climate finance effectively. Weak institutional frameworks, limited technical capacity, and fragmented stakeholder engagement hinder the development of bankable projects and the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). 

This session explored strategies for establishing robust institutional frameworks that support climate finance planning, access, and implementation. It emphasized the importance of capacity-building for holistic investment strategies, the development of bankable projects, and inclusive stakeholder engagement.  

The session showcased good practices in governance, policy integration, and institutional strengthening through the experiences of the Green Climate Fund (GCF), Global Capacity-building Coalition (GCBC), Climate Compatible Growth (CCG). 

Objectives

  • Examine strategies to strengthen institutional frameworks and coordination mechanisms to enhance countries’ capacity to plan, access, and manage climate finance effectively. 

  • Identify approaches for bridging public–private and national–subnational gaps to mobilize and channel finance for climate action across all levels of governance 

  • Discuss pathways for integrating climate priorities into policy and investment planning to ensure coherence between national strategies, NDCs, and financing pathways for a just and resilient transition.
