''From Ambition to Delivery: Realities, Gaps, and the Path Ahead for EU Climate Finance'' Report
We are proud to share our policy paper: ”From Ambition to Delivery: Realities, Gaps, and the Path Ahead for EU Climate Finance”.
This policy paper provides an evaluation of the European Union’s international climate finance architecture. Contextualised within the upcoming Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) negotiations and evolving global governance frameworks, this report analyses the structural composition of EU financial flows, the fiscal implications of loan-to-grant ratios, and the institutional barriers to capital accessibility facing Least Developed Countries (LDCs).
