| Summary |
Risk narratives need to be adopted to straddle the disconnect between climate change concerns and the general operations of the financial sector. Financial sector policy makers and regulators are only likely to address sustainability and climate change concerns if they understand their responsibility and the potential threat of systemic disruption and other market risks. In the past, multilateral agencies have employed a narrow definition of climate finance, but the compelling scientific evidence of global warming suggests a way must be found to broaden this definition, in order to crowd in more public and private sector investment. Part of this involves accepting that development finance must incorporate climate change concerns and enhance sustainability. Finance to enhance sustainability has to address domestic and regional climate and welfare concerns to be effective. From an African perspective, it needs to identify the most pressing issues, which is likely to involve in-depth, localized research and engagement to enhance climate change resilience |
