By designing investable Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), countries can signal their government priorities and attract the private capital essential for meeting ambitious climate targets. To achieve this, collaboration between governments, public financial institutions, and the private sector is crucial. The session focuses on understanding private sector needs and developing actionable roadmaps for mobilizing capital.
It will promote collective discussions to identify challenges and opportunities based on insights provided by representatives of key stakeholders. De-risking mechanisms are crucial for addressing climate financing challenges, such as the “green premium” and lack of track record for climate-oriented businesses.
