In collaboration with 2050 Pathways on long term strategies, Rabia is part of an ongoing project around climate investment plans, and correlation to resource mobilisation.

The enquiry has following components:

  1. Test the hypothesis that climate related investment plans translate to the requisite resources needed by developing countries;
  2. Demonstrate through case studies of key countries what plans developed vs resources mobilised vs actions taken vs time to undertake such actions;
  3. Document lived experiences of policymakers, advisors and funders in climate related investment plans, including transition plans as basis for driving change (7 interviews underway);
  4. Seek the useful elements of planning to build on towards just and dignified climate response;
  5. Identify the elements around transition related planning that are relevant, or necessary for developing country context;
  6. Learn and contribute towards action, to ensure social safety nets in place for most vulnerable over the long term.
