Bridging the Climate Finance Gap with Blended Finance: Learning from Past Projects to Build a Mature Blended Finance Ecosystem for Climate - 04 Dec 2023

This panel will focus on the role blended finance can play to support the transition to net zero in emerging and developing countries. Building on first-hand experience from past projects as well as findings from the recent NGFS Technical Document on Blended Finance, the speakers will look at how financial institutions and authorities can contribute to building a mature blended finance ecosystem, from a variety of points of views (Central banks and Supervisors, MDBs, Insurers, etc). As blended finance projects build momentum, identifying regulatory barriers and actionable levers will be key to developing this ecosystem and bridging the climate finance gap.
