EU4ClimateResilience Consultation Highlights Climate Policy and Green Finance Priorities in Eastern Partnership Countries
On 5 October 2026, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) hosted a consultation in Paris under the EU4ClimateResilience project, bringing together participants to discuss ongoing OECD work on climate action, adaptation and sustainable finance in Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries.
The consultation focused on key climate policy developments and challenges relevant to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, providing an opportunity to exchange knowledge and discuss analytical findings that can support climate policy development and implementation across the region.
Strengthening Climate Policy and Adaptation
OECD experts presented recent analytical work on enhanced Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), highlighting the links between ambitious climate action, economic growth and sustainable development. Discussions also addressed priorities ahead of the 31st UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) and developments in the global adaptation framework, including preparations for the second Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement.
A dedicated session focused on measuring climate action through the OECD Climate Actions and Policies Measurement Framework (CAPMF). Preliminary findings from the five EaP countries highlighted the evolution of climate policy adoption across the region, alongside opportunities to further strengthen policy implementation and address gaps between climate action and sectoral emissions.
Mobilising Finance for Climate Action
The consultation also explored approaches to aligning financial flows with climate goals and scaling up green investment in the EaP region.
OECD experts presented ongoing work on sustainable finance, including an assessment of investor interest in green and thematic bonds. The discussions highlighted barriers to mobilising investment, such as limited investment-ready project pipelines, market constraints and financing risks, as well as opportunities to strengthen regulatory frameworks, enhance market transparency and support green bond issuance.
The consultation contributed to continued knowledge exchange and cooperation under EU4ClimateResilience, which is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), supporting partner countries in advancing climate policy implementation, strengthening resilience and mobilising green finance.
