I am delighted to announce the publication of a new book that I had the privilege of editing, entitled “Policy-Driven Climate and Development Finance.”
The book comprehensively addresses the most pertinent issues in 19 chapters, authored by 38 renowned specialists and researchers from various global, regional and national institutions.
About the book: (as cited in the website of our publisher De Gruyter Brill):
“Climate finance is the key to tackling the climate crisis, yet current financial flows remain insufficient, inefficient, and inequitable. This book argues that a new climate finance framework needs to evolve. The framework has to include incremental structural changes, reforms and innovative solutions that aim at introducing the required shift in the climate finance architecture – its institutions, standards and practices. It proposes multi-level actionable interventions to mobilize and deploy climate finance efficiently, accessibly, affordably, and equitably, unlocking opportunities to break the current impasse.
The book is an open-source, and dedicated to “the veterans of climate and development finance around the world, and to the memory of Saleemul Huq OBE and Ambassador Bernarditas de Castro-
Mueller, whose work continues to inspire.”
