Inside the Economic Engine Room: Ministries of Finance and Economic Analysis for Green and Resilient Transitions

The event aims to provide new insights into how Ministries of Finance are taking on a stronger role in implementing national climate policy, driving investment and integrating climate goals into core economic and fiscal policies. 

The Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action’s Helsinki Principle 4 (HP4) workstream, led by the Danish Ministry of Finance, drives work on mainstreaming climate action into economic and fiscal policies and tools. At COP30, the Coalition will present insights and country experiences from the Coalition’s Economic Analysis for Green and Resilient Transitions Initiative, a major effort to support Ministries of Finance in building the analytical capabilities they need to assess the economic effects of physical climate risk and climate mitigation and adaptation measures.
