Financing climate change with shrinking aid budgets
Hakluyt office, 34 Upper Brook Street, London, W1K 7QS
About this Event
Prevailing geopolitical pressures and sentiments have created uncertainty in climate finance. Many countries including the US, UK, Germany and France have cut foreign development and aid budgets, which will have knock-in effects on renewables roll-out in the global south. This event explores new research from Oxford University that estimates renewable energy deal flows and financing terms, for different scenarios in an era of less development money. Join us and our expert panellists to discuss ways forward for climate finance in these uncertain times.
