This is a rant - on climate finance, on the deceit of public officials talking endlessly about mobilising private finance, and on how we just do not learn.
The search for private finance is the seeking of funds for international bureaucracies now becoming distraught the markets they talk about are coming to cause them to meet market forces - no customers no earnings.
Why not have the private sector working to best effect? Regularly because they will care nothing, nothing, for the common goods. The failure of governance means extractive economics is being perpetuated and those with hold on power will keep hold on power (in all senses of the word with energy generation as well as social, economic and the political capabilities)
"This is foremost a political problem. Overbearing and over-cooked bureaucracies are great at signalling urgency but cannot follow through in delivery because they reward compliance over all else"
We need to separate these elements out Suvo. Political issues, problems, are systems now in the main easy to manipulate where the executive is conflated with the legislative and there is an absence of quality, functional, responsible bureaucracy.
On international bureaucracies, we are witnessing, as we have seen in country systems, bureaucrats looking after their career paths and politicians grandstanding rather than looking at oversight to deliver relevance, effectiveness and revisions to what is called efficiency.
