What is the SAN and why was it created? Addressing climate change is the most pressing challenge of our generation, requiring a large-scale and coordinated response to address both its causes and consequences, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the resilience of ecosystems and human settlements, on a planetary scale. An emerging climate finance architecture, led by multilateral climate and environment funds, such as the Green Climate Fund, the Global Environment Facility, the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility, the Adaptation Fund, and the Climate Investment Funds, among others, aspire to channel hundreds of billions of dollars, and to leverage the allocation of even larger sums of private funds into climate-friendly investments. Ensuring that climate finance delivers on this challenge is a matter of concern to all, and particularly to those most vulnerable and directly affected.
