今年的聯合國氣候大會COP30在巴西貝倫舉辦，媽盟今年與台灣青年氣候聯盟、氣候對策協會共同組成代表團，遠征巴西。關於「氣候融資」如何支持氣候行動，是媽盟長期關注的議題，我們在上半年與德國倡議組織Urgewald、英國倡議組織環境正義基金會 (EJF) 合辦綠色金融講座，邀請國內金融機構參與，認識化石燃料轉型路徑的國際討論。基於COP30期間各方在大會的討論與交流，我們透過連線直播的方式，將氣候融資的談判進程和台灣社群分享，也再次邀請Urgewald、環境正義基金會的參與，共同發想台灣的行動策略。
Session Title: From Local to International: Investing in Integrity and Financing for Climate Justice
Time: 20th November (Thursday), 9:30-11:00 (1h30min)
Venue: UNFCCC COP30 Green Zone — Booth No.58 (Name: STUF United Pavilion “Sustainability in Action”)
Platform: Live broadcast on Facebook, Online+In-person Hybrid Speakers
Language: Mandarin (the target audience is the civil society and financial institution in Taiwan)
Overview:
As the climate crisis deepens, ensuring integrity in profit-driven businesses and justice in the global climate finance landscape has become more urgent than ever.
This session explores how activists and stakeholders in different local or international organizations view the challenges of current climate finance mechanisms, and what is needed to pivot the current finance into equity, transparency, and accountability.
By connecting grassroots experiences with global financial frameworks, we’ll discuss how the design of investments and funding mechanisms can truly support climate-vulnerable communities, build resilience, and uphold climate justice.
Guiding Questions:
- As the “Baku to Belém Roadmap” aims to mobilize $1.3 trillion in annual external climate finance for developing countries by 2035, it details how to achieve this through a combination of public and private investment, reforms to the international financial system, and new sources of funding. What is the progress at COP30?
- Finance is one of the most important pillars under the UNFCCC. There are multiple stakeholders participating in the COPs. What is the strategy of the international and/or regional institutes to support climate action and economic development by addressing the rising costs of mitigation, adaptation, loss, and damage?
- The first global stocktake at COP28 made the decision to transition away from fossil fuels. As we pursue climate justice, fossil fuels phaseout is on the priority of the agenda. What are the NGO’s advocacy for the financial institution?
- Taiwan has announced its NDC 3.0 before COP30, supported with green finance and transition finance policies. Is there any reference or takeaways from COP30 to strengthen Taiwan’s action of investing in integrity and financing for climate justice?
