CC9: Green Technology and Finance – Striking a Fair Climate Deal

The objective of CC9 is to contribute to the conclusion of a fair climate agreement by advancing the potential of green technology and adequate funding. Investing in the development and diffusion of green technologies and renewable energy is a sustainable way to stimulate the economy and create new jobs - sustainable economic growth that can reinforce efforts to combat climate change while respecting development needs.

The conference took place on 4 and 5 June at Hafslund Manor in Sarpsborg, Norway. It was followed up by a climate festival for children in the adjacent park on 6 June.
