Description: 
This tutorial introduces the concept of climate finance. In recent years the global community has come to an agreement that urgent climate action is necessary. This would be in the form of both reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving the resilience and adaptive capacity of societies to the harmful impacts of climate change resulting from past emissions. These actions require significant financial resources. This tutorial provides an overview of what climate finance is and where countries access different sources of financing.
