Climate Finance Network


Our Mission

Advancing climate finance solutions to stop the climate crisis

At the Climate Finance Network (CFN), our mission is to drive transformative change by unlocking and directing finance towards impactful climate action. We aim to foster resilience, sustainability, and equitable growth within communities most vulnerable to climate change across the Asia-Pacific region. By facilitating strategic investments, innovative solutions, and collaborative partnerships, we endeavour to make climate finance impactful and meet the urgent environmental challenges of our time while paving the way for a more sustainable and inclusive future.

 

Who We Are

The CFN is UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub’s primary programme on climate finance. The network brings a wide range of stakeholders including ministries of finance, regulators, accountability actors, the private sector, civil society and regional and international development partners to forge partnerships for mobilizing and managing climate finance effectively.  

 

 

How We Work

A Framework for Impact

The Climate Finance Network (CFN) is predicated on a comprehensive approach, blending knowledge management, capacity building, and technical support through collaborative partnerships. Our impact is channeled through six core workstreams:

  • Climate change aligned budgeting and planning: Streamlining budget and planning processes to reflect climate priorities.
  • Access to international climate change finance: Facilitating entry to global and regional  financial resources from public, private, and philanthropy  for climate initiatives.
  • Tax and innovative climate change finance: Identifying novel financial mechanisms and tax strategies to boost climate funding.
  • Gender and social inclusion and climate change finance: Ensuring finance strategies are inclusive and empower all community members.
  • Transparency and accountability of climate change finance: Promoting open and responsible financial practices.
  • Modelling climate impacts on economic: Analyzing and forecasting the economic effects of climate change for better financial planning.
