ICC public policy roadmap on finance and climate change (2010)

The challenges of financing mitigation and adaptation action as part of a post-2012 agreement are daunting, particularly in the current economic downturn. More than ever, the right enabling frameworks and clear policy roadmaps are needed to encourage private sector sources, and seek synergies between public and private sector sources.

We encourage negotiations to recognize and take advantage of the enormous wealth of experience that resides in existing institutions, markets and investment activities. New finance should be used to leverage and benefit from this experience. Business is prepared to share our experience and work with governments and others to design effective procedures to finance adaptation and mitigation activities in developing countries.
