About the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program
In partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, the University of Edinburgh will provide over 200 full scholarships to students from Africa with great academic and leadership potential but few educational opportunities. On top of the scholarship, the Scholars Program facilitates transformative leadership programming to inspire and support Scholars in making change in their communities and countries on their return home.

Event Details
While the outcomes of COP27 have been seen by many as mixed, it has nevertheless heralded a new era in how we define and deliver climate change-related finance. On one hand, adaptation finance is increasingly taking a central role in discussions on how to scale-up the 100 billion USD of climate finance to be provided annually by developed countries. On the other hand, COP27 saw the addition of loss & damage funding as an agenda item and the decision to create a new delivery mechanism for these resources. Finally, discussions are slowly starting to take shape as to what the climate finance architecture could look like post-2025 in terms of donors, recipients and delivery channels.
This panel discussion will bring together alumni, country negotiators, and leading experts from the University of Edinburgh to provide insights on a number of questions and issues.
