Climate Change, Urbanization, Global Shifts, International Law Global Climate Finance Workshop | Report and Thought Pieces

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.
