Unleashing climate finance flows at COP29 - the role of the NCQG and NDCs

The latest publication from the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC): "NDCs, NCQG, and Financing the Transition" LONDON, Oct. 24, 2024 -- "Climate finance" will be a key subject at COP29, with debate in particular on the proposed "New Collective Quantified Goal" (NCQG) for financial flows from high-income to low-income countries.
