Without an adequate and just financing of adaptation measures, mitigation and low-carbon development we will not be able to deal with impacts of climate change. They are key to new climate agreement. While the design and refinement of efficient mechanisms to finance a global and just policy of sustainability is being actively pursued, it is almost impossible to keep an overview of the multitude of economic mechanisms.

The study Fairness in Global Climate Finance of the Institute for Public Policy Research provide an overview over the latest cost estimates and proposals for sources of finance and mechanisms.

The Heinrich Böll Foundation and WWF-US evaluate newly created bilateral and multilateral finance mechanisms in the study New Finance for Climate Change and the Environment.
