Combating climate change is the defining challenge of our times.

From the perspective of the Global South, addressing the climate crisis is an urgent priority that requires mobilizing and deploying financial resources at an unprecedented scale.

The Climate Finance Center for the Global South (CFC-GS) is a think tank based in Bélem with an exclusive focus on bridging the policy-finance-outcome knowledge gap in the Global South. The objective is to create a South-South network of public policy professionals, academics and practitioners to share knowledge, build coalitions and co-create solutions to mobilize and deploy climate finance at scale.

The CFC-GS will focus on four core areas:

Macroeconomic environment and climate finance

Monetary, fiscal, trade and investment policies.

Climate finance instruments

MDB/RDB finance; carbon credits, blended finance, private capital etc.

Climate finance for cities

Resource mobilization, investment priorities, incentives, subsidies etc

Climate Finance tracker for COP30

Global, regional and national commitments and expenditure.
