Some of the world’s biggest charities have joined forces with the World Bank's private investment arm in a climate financing venture to try to generate  $11 billion in investments in developing countries.
 
Launching the Allied Climate Partners (ACP) platform on Friday, the group aims to use an initial $825 million to attract far more private cash than any previous blending of public and private money of this kind has managed.

Getting more money to poorer countries to help them shift to a low-carbon economy - total climate-related investment needs are estimated at $2.4 trillion annually - is a central theme of the COP28 climate talks in Dubai.
