Transformative Climate Finance: Shifting Financial Flows and Private Sector Mobilisation

The goals of the Paris Climate Agreement can only be achieved with a redirection of global financial flows and the mobilisation of private capital, especially also in emerging and developing countries. The project contributes to the transformation of financial systems in ODA countries in line with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement as per Art. 2.1c and to the mobilisation of private climate finance in the context of the 100 billion dollar target.

Event at the 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) on the theme ‘From Renewed Commitments to Action: Advancing NDC 3.0 Investment Planning and Mobilising Private Capital’. The event brought together key players from climate and financial policy and strengthened international dialogue on practical approaches to financing the energy transition in emerging and developing economies.
Financial centres in the UK, Brazil, Mexico and Singapore jointly developed approaches to NDC-compliant transition finance (June–October 2025). In four international dialogue formats, organised by GIZ in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), representatives from the financial sector, politics and international organisations pooled their experiences to identify ways in which financial systems can be better aligned with climate targets and private investment mobilised for climate-friendly transformation. The findings were incorporated into an international study that identifies concrete courses of action for financial centres and governments to steer investment in line with the Paris Agreement.
