17 May 2022. Today the European Parliament's Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety adopted the report on the regulation establishing a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). CBAM is seen as a way of preventing "carbon leakage" - that is, the movement of carbon-emitting industries to other countries - as Europe transitions to a lower-carbon economy.
During the 2022 ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development, UNCDF and partners will be holding side-events on Green and Climate Resilience Bonds in LDCs, Guarantee Mechanisms as Catalysts of LDC Structural Transformation and Blended finance in LDCs. More information here and in our events page.
