The high level session was opened by Climate, Energy and Buildings Minister, Martin Lidegaard, who inter alia stressed the importance of including the private sector to fund climate related projects.

Germany and the United Kingdom used the forum to announce the guidelines and selection criteria for their recently-launched and path-breaking International NAMA Facility, which will provide €70 million initially for the implementation of NAMAs.

NAMA presentations showed the progress that countries have made in the last years and demonstrated to potential funders that a robust pipeline of NAMAs will be seeking support and investment over the coming months.    

Presentations, NAMA concept notes, two-page NAMA executive summaries, and photos can also be accessed here (via Dropbox).
