​For the Third International Conference on Financing for Development, the 10 things you need to know about climate change and financing for development are:

• Tackling climate change opens better paths to development
• The $5 trillion to be spent on transport should improve energy efficiency and bring health benefits
• As developing countries ramp up investment, the cost of clean energy is plummeting
• Protecting forests protects livelihoods and addresses climate change
• Climate resilient agricultural investments can help end hunger
• Spending on social protection can enhance resilience to climate change
• Disasters already cost $100 billion a year – and climate change may make this much worse
• Developing countries are investing in climate action
• Financial institutions are finally starting to promote low-carbon development and manage climate risk
• More climate finance doesn’t mean less aid for poor countries
