Green Finance Centre PNG

Green Finance Centre featured at the 2026 UNFCCC’s Standing Committee on Finance (SCF) Forum on Financing Climate Action for Water Systems and the Ocean, sharing an insight into PNG’s recent experiences on mobilizing climate finance.

Mohinesh Prasad, Head of Green Finance Centre joined Himerio Justin Garcia from the Department of Finance, Philippines and Miranda Amade Miguel, Head, Department of Climate Policy Analysis and Strategies, Ministry of Planning and Development, Mozambique for an interactive conversation drawing on complementary national planning, project preparation and financing perspectives.

“One lesson from PNG is that sometimes we describe the problem as a shortage of finance when the underlying constraint is actually the absence of a sufficiently developed pipeline” – Mohinesh Prasad.

The 2026 SCF Forum is being hosted by Australia's Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water in partnership with Pacific Islands Forum and the Republic of the Philippines as a build up to the Pre-COP31 forum to be hosted in Fiji and Tuvalu in October 2026.
