10 things to know about climate change and financing for development

A fact sheet by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) outlining ten key intersections between climate change and financing for development in preparation for the Third International Conference on Financing for Development.

• The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) identifies several ways that climate-focused investments can drive development, including the potential for $5 trillion in transport spending to increase energy efficiency and provide health benefits, and the role of climate-resilient agricultural investments in ending hunger.
• The document notes that the cost of clean energy is falling as developing countries increase their investments, and that financial institutions are beginning to manage climate risk and promote low-carbon development.
• Climate change impacts are already costly, with disasters costing $100 billion annually, a figure that may increase. Additionally, the document asserts that increasing climate finance does not necessarily reduce aid for poor countries.
