While the latter dominated conversations in the initial stages of the talks, it is the GCF that was arguably the predominant talking point in the halls of the convention centre on Thursday morning. Having undergone intense <a title=\"Japan and US block Green Climate Fund progress\" href=\"http:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/policy\/japan-and-us-block-green-climate-fund-progress-during-tense-talks-in-durban\/\" target=\"_blank\">debate<\/a> on Wednesday evening without a resolution, the question now is what future does the GCF face?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are millions of people\u2019s lives under threat. If we don\u2019t get an agreement towards establishing the GCF quickly we believe that the numerous problems we face in Africa now will grow. The gap in funding will spread and lives will be lost,\u201d says Mbarak Diop, Chief Safeguard Policy Officer, African Development Bank.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at our coastal regions, agriculture, low-frequency high-magnitude events, floods, droughts, groundwater issues. This is a matter of survival. The world must conclude an agreement on the climate fund. This is the voice of Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the economic crisis in Europe and North America limiting the availability of cash from many developed economies where the money for the fund will come from? Diop believes that struggling developed economies need to invest in Africa and Asia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis can be mutually beneficial. There are strong economic linkages. It would be a mistake not to invest because of the global economic crisis. That is an argument that should not be heard. The way forward is to look beyond the developed world\u2019s funding and to diversify sources. Taxes, innovative financing, philanthropy,\u201d says Diop.<\/p>\n<p>With the source of funding for the GCF one of the many sticking points on Wednesday, coming to any agreement on the GCF could be a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe operationalisation of the GCF is a key component of a successful outcome in Durban,\u201d says Ilana Solomon, senior policy advisor with ActionAid. \u201cThe question now is whether the discussions will continue productively, or unravel.<\/p>\n<p>One bone of contention in Wednesday\u2019s talks was the role of the private sector in financing the fund.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf projects are going to be funded by large corporations and multinationals the question is who owns and drives these projects? ActionAid wants to see the needs of developing countries addressed. Those needs don\u2019t always comply with those of private companies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are of course benefits to involving big business in filling up the coffers of the GCF.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most obvious is scale,\u201d says Gareth Phillips of Sindicatum and board member of the Climate Markets and Investment Association (CMIA).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a lack of finance on that scale from governments at the moment but the money that is sitting with institutional investors, pensions and insurance companies and so on, has to go somewhere. If we can provide the right kind of mechanisms, then as we have already seen with the CDM this money can be invested into suitable projects. For that to happen it would be helpful if there was a clear indication on a role for market based mechanisms and a clear set of rules. The CDM has shown us how effective the right rules can be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those rules are also part of the discussions in Durban at present. Phillips says that with the right rules in place, the private sector could deploy this capital very efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can move very quickly. That\u2019s what we do, we find the opportunities where we can invest the money and provide a range of benefits. Clearly profit is one of those key elements. But we can also respond to signals for sustainable development and the creation of other kinds of commodities and desirables,\u201d claims Phillips.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA third very important area is the ability of private sector to deploy new technologies. Issues around the protection of IP would need to be progressed first. But, if that can be achieved, the private sector can come forward and finance these technologies and help countries leapfrog into a cleaner development pathway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Discussions on the GCF will continue behind closed doors with all parties publicly stating their desire to secure a deal in Durban. There are millions outside of those doors that desperately need a positive result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As negotiations stutter in Durban RTCC looks at what the GCF means
