Hosted by: Climate Action Organization at the Sustainable Investment Forum North America 2024 (Climate Week NYC)
Session description
- Has future policy uncertainty, technological costs, rising capital costs, and data limitations created unattractive risk-return profiles?
- To what extent is private climate finance helping emerging economies meet Paris Agreement goals?
- The private sector is skilled at managing project implementation risks but less equipped to handle policy risks or investments in easily replicable innovations. How can this be improved?
- How can MDBs (Multilateral Development Banks) in the region be incentivised to take on more risk by leveraging public finance to unlock private capital?
- Can blending finance catalyse adaptation by bridging the financing gap through effective risk mitigation and leveraging both public and private capital in the region?
- How is the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) being developed? Will its ratification and formalisation during COP29 accelerate the mobilization and blending of public and private finance?
