2.1. About the role
In line with the Paris Agreement and the EU net zero 2050 target, the ECF Climate Finance Strategy aims to ensure the global financial system is transformed to make financial flows consistent with a 1.5-degree pathway and climate-resilient development by:
- working on increasing Paris-aligned finance flows : ensuring an increase in development finance, particularly through reform of international financial institutions; greater mobilisation of private capital catalysed by development finance; and ensure fiscal and monetary tools are used effectively to support the transition.
- Supporting the shift to a net zero financial system: ensuring that the financial sector has the tools and methodologies to plan its approach to the transition; that corporate and financial actors provide the information and data required to assess their sustainability impacts; and that they are held to account for their climate impacts and commitments to meet net zero.
- Working on knowledge gaps and supporting capacity building : ensuring that policymakers, central bankers, supervisors have the knowledge and skills to create ambitious and robust policy on sustainable finance.
This means supporting activities such as the following:
- Supporting the implementation of ambitious EU sustainable finance agenda, including ensuring corporate and finance accountability, greater disclosure and an ambitious EU budget.
- Working to leverage Europe’s role in global approaches to increasing financial flows to climate and development action particularly through targeted work in priority EU member states and with Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs).
