Download or read book Ensuring Quality to Gain Access to Global Markets written by Martin Kellermann and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a modern world with rapidly growing international trade, countries compete less based on the availability of natural resources, geographical advantages, and lower labor costs and more on factors related to firms' ability to enter and compete in new markets. One such factor is the ability to demonstrate the quality and safety of goods and services expected by consumers and confirm compliance with international standards. To assure such compliance, a sound quality infrastructure (QI) ecosystem is essential. Jointly developed by the World Bank Group and the National Metrology Institute of Germany, this guide is designed to help development partners and governments analyze a country's quality infrastructure ecosystems and provide recommendations to design and implement reforms and enhance the capacity of their QI institutions.
Download or read book The Green Climate Fund written by Erica J. Thorson and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Green Climate Fund has been heralded as a triumph of the climate change negotiations, but its true role in climate finance has yet to materialize. Significant questions remain unresolved and negotiations are mired in the same developed versus developing country controversies that have stymied other avenues of climate finance. With this legacy to overcome, the Green Climate Fund's full and robust operationalization and impact on climate change is unclear. In fact, participants left an initial meeting to mobilize resources for the Green Climate Fund in June of 2014 without so much as agreement on a target for future resource mobilization. Critical to achieving the goals of the Green Climate Fund and the broader, now fragmented, climate finance regime is a deep understanding of historical and entrenched debates as well as the governance and mechanics of the various UNFCCC financial institutions, and this paper provides a synthesis of this backdrop. Although it does not offer a panacea-type solution, this paper does suggest that alternative top-down or bottom-up approaches strategically employing the Standing Committee on Finance or Designated National Authorities, respectively, may at least represent pathways toward efficient and effective climate finance.

Download or read book Public private Partnerships for Climate Finance written by Ann Gardiner and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is strong evidence showing the urgent need for scaling-up climate finance to mitigate greenhouse gases in line with the 2°C target, and to support adaptation to safeguard the international community from the consequences of a changing climate. While public actors have a responsibility to deploy climate finance, it is clear that the contribution from the private sector needs to be significant. Consequently, a strong public commitment is needed to engage with the private sector and ensure climate finance is leveraged and deployed effectively. In this context, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are a promising avenue to contribute to climate finance delivery. PPPs provide frameworks to ensure public leadership and accountability in tackling climate change, while enabling the ownership of certain components of climate finance to be transferred to private hands.
