RT @kielinstitute: Climate finance is stuck—pledges aren’t matching contributions, especially for low- & middle-income countries (LMICs). A new Kiel Working Paper flips the script: it’s in the EU’s own interest to act. Not charity—strategy. 👇

The paper by Ottmar Edenhofer, @mkalkuhl & Lennart Stern shows how the EU can:
🔹Reduce climate risks at home
🔹Boost geopolitical security (e.g. weaken fossil revenue flows to Russia)
🔹Lead globally with a performance-based model

Key advantages:
✅ No need for global consensus
✅ Aligns with CBAM, ETS, and EU diplomatic reach
✅ Avoids politically fraught “climate reparations”
✅ Can scale with partners like China

A collaboration between @PIK_Climate & the Kiel Institute, part of the project "ODA in the Mutual Interest of Donors and Recipients."
📄 Full paper: https://t.co/prcluMchj5
🗞️ Press summary: https://t.co/5ivOeWbDs5

🆕“Governments face shrinking fiscal space and must find funding for international climate finance," says PIK director #Edenhofer. Smaller coalitions of countries with targeted levies could help solve the problem without extra cost to consumers, he adds.
