Towards just and effective climate finance: Developing priorities and principles

This policy brief outlines the development of a normative framework for the governance of climate finance at national and sub-national levels in developing countries. It aims to provide guidance on fund mobilisation, implementing institutions, and disbursement to ensure climate finance serves as a just and effective mechanism for addressing climate change impacts.

• The policy brief advocates for a normative framework regarding fund governance at national and sub-national levels in developing countries to ensure that the mobilisation, implementation, and disbursement of funds act as a just and effective mechanism for managing climate change impacts.
• The brief is derived from a broader ISS report that analyzed the governance of climate finance across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, incorporating regional contexts and national and sub-national experiences.
