Landscape of Climate Finance: Promoting debate on climate finance flows in Central Europe

The transition to a low-carbon economy requires an unprecedented restructuring of financial flows in favour of sustainable investment.

The project was based on a project in France that produced a detailed overview of French climate finance and that linked these findings closely with the national strategy development and planning processes. This kind of analysis provides an opportunity to improve coordination of the incentives offered in the climate policy conditions of the EU and its member states to promote investment and to use funds.

• Strengthened dialogue and capacity building: The project established a systematic exchange between Polish and international actors on climate finance methods. The targeted involvement of key institutions created concrete demand in Poland for the implementation of these financing methods at the national level. Third-party funding secured the application of the developed methodology in the energy sector.  
• Influenced political processes and strategies: The results of the project were incorporated into the preparation of Poland's long-term strategy for building renovation. The financing landscape served as a tool for strategic planning. At the same time, the topic of climate finance was visibly anchored in expert circles in Central and Eastern Europe.  
• Relevant investments identified: Climate-related investments amounting to around 23 billion Polish złoty (approx. 5 billion euro) were recorded in the Polish building sector.   
• Networking for climate financing: Seven events with over 150 participants promoted the transfer of knowledge across regions. In addition, links were established with six other European projects, which increased the impact beyond the project itself.
