Description :

Emerging markets (EMs) are home to 80% of the world’s population, and financing their transition is a key piece to the world’s net zero future. However, while it is estimated that EMs will require $2 trillion annually by 2030 to achieve net zero by 2050, only one-fifth of what is required for this transition is planned. EM risks may deter investors, or deem cost of debt unaffordable for EMs, exacerbating the lack of financing.

In this panel, we discuss innovative ways private sector capital can be crowded in to bridge the funding gap in EMs. What are some green shoot solutions that debt financing platforms have tapped on? How can concessionary capital be creatively deployed to de-risk private capital? From leveraging tailored financial instruments to fostering public-private partnerships in scaling decarbonisation technologies, hear from our esteemed speakers as they outline a roadmap for unleashing the potential of the private sector in driving the green transition across diverse emerging markets – while ensuring that no communities are left behind.
