<p>Last year’s historic Paris Agreement and the overall trend to include climate change in the sustainable development agenda have set the direction for a broader global climate action. In line with these new developments, the World Bank together with its strategic partners – IETA and Climate Action – are launching “<strong>Innovate4Climate - Finance &amp; Markets Week</strong>”&nbsp;in Barcelona, Spain from May 22 to 25.</p>

<p>The first edition&nbsp;features a two-day forum with high level government representatives, finance and business leaders focused&nbsp;on&nbsp;<strong><em>Unlocking the Trillions </em></strong>needed to scale up national climate strategies to accelerate the global transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient future.</p>

<p>Greening the finance sector; de-risking&nbsp;investments; driving low-carbon pathways through transformative policies and carbon pricing; and supporting the&nbsp;implementation of NDCs around the world are a few of the topics of&nbsp;this new global platform to advance the post-2015 framework.</p>

<p>The conference is made possible through the support of government partners&nbsp;Spain and Germany, and co-organised by Fira Barcelona.</p>
