Financing Mechanisms

The purpose of the Thematic Working Group for Financing Mechanisms (TWG FM) is to bring together interested COPA Members, supported by invited external experts and consultants, to jointly work on identifying and developing financial mechanisms suitable for GHG mitigation measures in the ODS and HFC banks sector. 

The working group defines its own specific goals, its work plan, and implements activities together. Meetings take place on a regular basis  and the results from the TWG are reported and presented annually, and on demand, to the COPA Plenary.
