Recalling the devastation that Typhoon Haiyan wrecked in his country, Yeb Sano, the climate change commissioner and lead negotiator from the Philippines,有力地讲话at the opening of COP 19 in Warsaw. “The climate crisis is madness,” he said, imploring negotiators to act ambitiously in pursuing an international climate action agreement.

Indeed, poor people around the world are continuously exposed to the devastating impacts of extreme weather and climate events. Unless decision-makers in Warsaw lay the groundwork for到2015年获得强大的国际气候协议必威官网是真的吗，热浪，海平面上升，极端天气和其他灾难性影响有望加剧。

Strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change’s impacts will be costly, soCop 19取决于在气候金融方面取得进展。必威官网是真的吗谈判者采取三个行动很重要：扩展adaptation finance;开发到2020年获得1000亿美元气候融资的途径；必威官网是真的吗并移动Green Climate Fundforward.

追求集体气候行动必威官网是真的吗

Aneffective international climate agreementwill require collective action—from both developed and developing nations. At this meeting, the discourse on climate finance is changing from one where developing country governments rely on finance and support from developed countries to one where they take the lead in acting first. Many countries are already doing this. The Philippines, for example, has allocated 2 percent of its GDP for climate action.

当然，他们的努力（值得称赞）还不足以满足气候变化挑战的规模。必威官网是真的吗发展中国家要求其发达国家伙伴的支持大大增加，尤其是那些历史上负责释放大量排放的人。在台风海扬的背景下，这种需求似乎更加紧迫。

3 Ways to Secure Finance for Collective Climate Action

Addressing three key finance issues in Warsaw will help secure climate action in both developed and developing nations. These critical steps include:

  1. A commitment to rapidly scale up adaptation finance and discuss mechanisms to address loss and damage.Investments in adaptation have been lackluster from both developed and developing nations’ governments. Developed country governments had committedonly $7.5 billionfor adaptation in the developing world—far short of the amount needed to meet the scale of the challenge. There could not be a better opportunity to scale up adaptation finance and open the debate on mechanisms toaddress losses and damagescaused by climate change’s impacts. A strong resolve in Warsaw on these two issues would be an undoubted success.

  2. Providing further clarity on pathways to secure $100 billion a year.发达国家已承诺到2020年每年提供1000亿美元的气候金融。必威官网是真的吗快速开始金融（FSF）期间- 开发的国家每年提供约100亿美元。谈判者将需要弄清楚如何用2020目标桥接FSF。没有一种获得1000亿美元的途径，政府不能独自行动。对这些可能的途径提供进一步的清晰度，并在途中同意里程碑，这将使集体1000亿美元的承诺更加实现。讨论a recent ministerial meeting哥本哈根在研究的角色中研究了不同类型的金融家（例如发展金融机构和出口信贷机构）可以在动员气候金融方面发挥作用。必威官网是真的吗但是，许多人认为需要进一步的清晰度 - 尤其是关于将要集体提供的发展以及他们将从私营部门动员多少。

  3. Infusing momentum into making the Green Climate Fund (GCF) operational.The Green Climate Fund is expected to become the main vehicle for delivering climate finance, yet much progress is needed to make this Fund truly operational. The GCF Board在上次会议上同意要完成八个基本要求，这将为贡献者在2014年投入资源铺平道路。谈判者应认可董事会的决定，以加强GCF的授权。这将产生真正使GCF运营所必需的政治势头。此外，董事会同意开始准备国家to access and effectively use the GCF’s resources for both adaptation and mitigation actions. This preparation would set the stage for rapidly scaling up countries’ investment efforts once the GCF is fully operational. Getting political momentum and resources behind this work in Warsaw will also demonstrate real progress.

A Key Meeting for Climate Finance

首次在国际气候谈判中，部长们将聚集在一起必威官网是真的吗a roundtable discussionspecifically to discuss how to mobilize finance.适应融资, the pathways to $100 billion, and the GCF will be quite squarely on their minds—as will the tragedy in the Philippines.

With every crisis comes an opportunity. The events in the Philippines provide an opportunity for politicians from both developed and developing countries to show their resolve to act. If ministers at the roundtable send a clear, unequivocal message on how to make progress on climate finance, it will give negotiators the political impetus they need to reach tangible, meaningful agreements in the negotiating room. We hope that Warsaw sets a new tone – one of ambition, urgency, and集体责任.
