Solution Exchange Pacific CC+Development - Discussion on Climate Finance
The Solution Exchange - Pacific Climate Change and Development discussion board has recently concluded its discussions on Challenges of Climate Change Finance - Experiences and Advice.
Participants were invited to submit comments on the questions of:
• What are the main barriers your country faces, and any key lessons learned?
• What are ways to improve the process?
• What are the mechanisms (ie committees) in your country for inter-institutional and/or inter-ministry coordination?
The collected comments and responses can be accessed at www.solutionexchange-un.net/pacific/ccd/ccd-subj-week.php
