This is an official side event of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP28).
Developing countries can sometimes lack the resources to formulate impactful mitigation and adaptation projects aligned with their NDC and LTS objectives. Rethinking climate institutions involves bolstering capabilities in three key areas: 1) advocating private-sector investments in climate initiatives; 2) coordinating decisions horizontally and vertically; and 3) developing climate bankable project portfolios. This side event aims to discuss innovative institutional arrangements and alliances for climate decision-making and investments. It brings together government officials and experts from Latin America (Colombia), Asia-Pacific (Vietnam), and Northern Africa (Morocco) to share experiences on transformative institutional setups, attracting NDC and LTS investments, and forging alliances for sector-specific climate investments.
