One of the most important issues during the UN Climate conference COP21 in Paris is finance. Tackling climate change will cost a lot of money, but it won’t be expensive, given that 1) investments have many co-benefits; 2) the costs of mitigation are falling rapidly; 3) other sources of finance are becoming available; 4) money is in fact available. It is about setting priorities, rather than about money.
