Perry World House Workshop: October 3, 2022 Global Climate Finance

Last fall, Perry World House and the Wharton Climate Center brought together experts from policy and academia for our Global Climate Finance Workshop.

The climate crisis continues to escalate worldwide, and the financial support needed to address its effects are not yet in place. While COP27 started the process of establishing a loss and damage fund for countries most impacted by climate change, the structure of the fund remains yet to be determined.

The workshop report—complemented by a series of thought pieces from participants—explores financial policy solutions to the climate crisis, the role the private sector should play, and how existing systems can be changed to better support climate adaptation and mitigation.
