Climate Finance Network
The Climate Finance Network (CFN) is unlocking and directing finance towards impactful climate action.
CFN is facilitating strategic investments, innovative solutions, and collaborative partnerships to build resilience, sustainability, and equitable growth within communities most vulnerable to climate change across the Indo-Pacific region.
CFN’s approach is centred around bringing together a wide range of stakeholders including ministries of finance, regulators, accountability actors, the private sector, civil society and regional and international development partners to mobilise climate finance effectively.
Implemented by the United Nations Development Program (Bangkok Regional Hub), CFN is:
- Modelling climate impacts to better forecast the economic effects of climate change and promote better financial planning.
- Improving access to international climate change finance by facilitating entry to global and regional financial resources.
- Identifying novel financial mechanisms and tax strategies to boost climate funding.
- Ensuring finance strategies empower all community members through a strong focus on gender and social inclusion.
