Towards just and effective climate finance: Developing priorities and principles

The document outlines the need for a normative framework to govern the mobilisation and disbursement of climate finance in developing countries. It draws on a study of regional and national experiences in Africa, Asia, and Latin America to ensure that climate finance effectively addresses the impacts of climate change.

• The document proposes a normative framework for fund governance at national and sub-national levels in developing countries to guide the mobilisation, implementing institutions, and disbursement of funds, ensuring climate finance serves as a "just and effective mechanism to deal with the impacts of climate change."
• The priorities and principles for this framework are informed by a study grounded in the "realities and experiences in funding arrangements across developing countries" in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
