2. Carbon Market Mechanisms, To create economic incentives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by setting a price on carbon emissions.
3. Partnership for Climate Resilient Infrastructure, Helping countries build climate-resilient infrastructure, including cleaner power generation facilities.
4. Powering Past Coal Alliance, Mobilizing significant funds for investment in climate projects, including renewable energy and energy efficiency.
