COP27: Innovative Mobilization Platforms

Climate investment into Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs) remains vastly inadequate given the size of the challenges we face, while the investment gap between developed and developing economies keeps widening. The private sector must help to close this monumental gap, particularly in developing countries where the majority of decarbonization investment is required. It can do that by enabling more and “better” investment flows into EMDE climate finance. This event will focus on the progress made to date and highlight innovative global platforms which mobilize investors to support SDG-related investments in Emerging Markets, in particular ones specifically related to climate risk-mitigation.
