Climate finance

Climate finance refers to all financial flows addressing the causes and consequences of climate change.

Unlocking real economy investments for climate action, mitigation and adaptation included, is critical.

UNEP works towards changing how investment decisions are made, engages with the finance industry and encourages the flow of public and private investment towards low-carbon and resilient development.
