As governments work to meet climate goals while safeguarding growth and fiscal sustainability, Ministries of Finance play a critical and consequential role. This webinar, hosted by the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action, presented key findings from a new report on how finance ministries can design and support coherent climate policy packages.
The session explored:
▪️ Why coordinated policy packages, rather than isolated instruments, are essential to achieving climate and development objectives
▪️ How a well-designed climate policy package can deliver near-term fiscal gains, crowd in investment, and boost economic competitiveness
▪️ Analytical frameworks and modelling tools available to Ministries of Finance to assess, sequence, and evaluate policy options
▪️ The pivotal, and often underutilized, role of Finance Ministries in evaluating, designing, and implementing effective climate strategies
