      Hamburg Sustainability Conference: National Incentives for Investing in Global Benefits

      HAMBURG SUSTAINABILITY CONFERENCE

      National Incentives for Investing in Global Benefits

      Monday, June 2

      15:00-15:45 in Hamburg, Germany
      9:00-9:45 a.m. EDT/GMT-4 (convert time) 

      GO TO SPEAKERS

      The world faces a collective action problem: countries naturally prioritize domestic investments while global challenges like climate change, pandemics, and food crises demand joint action. This creates systemic underinvestment in global public goods. Join country and development leaders at the 2025 Hamburg Sustainability Conference, as they explore ways to reshape the international finance to unlock transformative solutions. Discover the World Bank's Framework for Financial Incentives and IDA's Global and Regional Opportunities Window—innovative mechanisms that reward countries for projects with cross-border benefits. From energy transformation to water management, learn how small grants through the new Livable Planet Fund make big global impact possible.

      Tackling global challenges

      Banking for a better world

      The World Bank's Framework for Financial Incentives (FFI), approved in April 2024, encourages countries to invest in projects addressing global challenges with cross-border impacts. It offers financial incentives to International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) clients and mobilizes additional resources through instruments like the Global Solutions Accelerator Platform and the Livable Planet Fund. This framework aims to scale up solutions for issues such as climate change, water management, and disease control.
