Institute for Climate Economics (I4CE) (implementing partner) is a think tank that provides public and private decision-makers with expertise on economic and financial issues related to the energy and ecological transition. I4CE strives to implement the Paris Agreement and make global financial flows compatible with low-carbon development that is resilient to climate change. Since 2012, I4CE has conducted and published multiple iterations of the French Landscape of Climate Finance, a study that tracks domestic climate investment and analyzes how it is financed. I4CE will build on its experience and success in France in increasing granularity on climate finance data and linking this with national policy planning processes.

About the project:
The transition to a low-carbon economy requires an unprecedented redirection of financial flows towards sustainable investments. The project aims to promote a strategic vision of the investment and a finance challenge raised by climate action. Its activities will focus on Poland and will be supported by experiences from Germany and France.
The main objective is to support the exchange of experiences between policymakers, experts, business community and civil society to improve assessment and design of domestic climate finance investment environments as well as to raise the awareness regarding the financial tools available to achieve climate policy objectives and foster the transition towards the low-emission economy. Promotion of best practices in assessment of current investment levels and supporting an increase in sustainable financial flows will be linked with an exploration of the potential of forward-looking analysis and production of investment plans as a part of national climate strategies.
