The session takes place in <strong>Auditorium 4 <\/strong>(ISEG, New Quelhas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Free admission, subject to prior registration <a href=\"https:\/\/eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.cloud.microsoft%2Fe%2F4cfXPcqCk9&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cpaula.monteiro%40iseg.ulisboa.pt%7Cf1841aa8a5024c6fd00608deab7f6202%7C9c184083de204859968c96f26db0bfe1%7C0%7C0%7C639136760779348472%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=%2Boyoxb9UfIDX11kN51Qpeet9lwznuokGonueIVB6jFA%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on this link<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seminar will bring together representatives from leading international organisations, including the <strong>Green Climate Fund<\/strong> (GCF), the <strong>Global Green Growth Institute<\/strong> (GGGI), the <strong>Enabel<\/strong>, <strong>World Resources Institute<\/strong>and <strong>Finance in Motion<\/strong> , together with the <strong>Resolve Fund<\/strong>, to discuss the strategic role of climate finance in the sustainable development of African countries, with a special focus on the PALOP countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an international context in which, in some forums, attempts are being made to soften or omit the term \u201cclimate change\u201d from public discourse, the scientific evidence remains unequivocal: the average global temperature is rising above forecasts, generating increasingly significant economic and social impacts. Financial losses, macroeconomic instability and the increased vulnerability of populations particularly affect developing countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference will highlight concrete experiences of green financial products, public policies for sustainable financing and technical assistance initiatives promoted by donors and international financial institutions. Among the main instruments under analysis will be concessionary financing, green bonds and mixed financing models, as essential mechanisms for transforming climate commitments into real investment with economic and social impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meeting also aims to highlight the importance of national sustainable financing strategies aligned with the <strong>Paris Agreement<\/strong>as a fundamental condition for mobilising international funding and strengthening the economic resilience of the countries of the Global South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climate finance is thus a real lever for long-term economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Seminario-The-role-of-climate-finance.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Seminario-The-role-of-climate-finance.png 1500w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Seminario-The-role-of-climate-finance-300x284.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Seminario-The-role-of-climate-finance-13x12.png 13w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On May 13, between 3pm and 5.30pm, ISEG - Lisbon School of Economics &amp;
