Ms. Delaney talked about emerging private climate finance disputes. Funding for climate-related projects may come from the public sector, the private sector, the Green Climate Fund, and the Clean Development Mechanism, through loans or equity arrangements. She described arbitration as particularly useful in resolving private climate finance disputes given its adaptability to legal and cultural differences, flexibility and efficiency, ability to choose arbitrators and experts with experience in climate change and climate finance, and enforceability.
