Description :

As countries increasingly align their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) with the target of net-zero emissions, there is a corresponding increase in the emphasis on transition finance to fund sustainable solutions that drive climate mitigation. However, the public sector faces significant financial challenges such as rising debt across high-impact sectors amongst EMDCs. In the meantime, the clock continues to tick - annual global investments in sustainable solutions will need to rise to US$4 trillion by 2030 in order to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

How can private climate financing play a pivotal role as emerging markets and developing economies seek to curb greenhouse gas emissions and contain climate change all while coping with its effects? What are some breakthrough solutions that the public and private sectors can jointly undertake to scale climate investments to unlock mutually beneficial outcomes, while achieving transformative alignment?

This panel session is curated in collaboration with Finance for Net Zero (FiNZ).
