Comment article in Nature: "Quantifying international public finance provision needs for the new UN climate finance goal"

As deliberations on the new UNFCCC climate finance goal enter the second week at COP29 in Baku, IMAL director Iskander Erzini Vernoit has co-authored a timely new article on quantifying climate finance provision needs of developing countries, published today as a comment piece in the peer-reviewed Nature journal npj Climate Action.

The article breaks new ground in suggesting estimates for grant-equivalent climate finance provision needs of developing countries. It moreover reviews a range of existing literature and provides a critique of inadequacies or problems in various prior analyses.
