Climate finance is considered a key tool to achieving NDCs/Paris Agreement, as well as SDGs in general.  Thus, different financing mechanisms have been established for different types of activities and projects to implement climate change mitigation and adaptation actions.  Green Bonds are one of such mechanisms, they have gained international popularity and are being used by different countries.

This side event aims to answer questions such as: What are the main sources of climate finance in the region and globally? How can we access them? What are the barriers to mobilization and access? Who are the experts in the supply and demand sectors? What is the role of accredited entities and implementation partners in securing and implementing these funds? What experiences can be shared?
