The global shift to a greener future hinges on the large-scale mobilization of private capital to support the transition of energy systems, build resilient infrastructure, and foster sustainable communities. However, significant challenges remain, particularly in creating the right market conditions, de-risking investments, and structuring financial frameworks that can attract private capital to key transition projects.
Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) are emerging as pivotal players in overcoming these barriers. By enhancing their capital mobilization efforts, DFIs have the potential to dramatically increase sustainable investment flows worldwide. A recent report by Climate Bonds suggests that if all DFIs were to double their current mobilization efforts, annual investment levels could soar to EUR 740 billion—a significant contribution to the global climate finance pool, which currently exceeds EUR 1 trillion annually.
The upcoming webinar will delve into strategies and recommendations outlined in the report, examining how DFIs, their stakeholders, and policymakers can unlock private capital for green investments. Experts from organizations such as BII, BIO, and EBRD will share insights into their experiences and success stories in driving capital mobilization for sustainable projects. The discussion aims to shed light on actionable steps that can accelerate the flow of private finance to critical climate transition investments.
As the world intensifies its efforts to combat climate change, DFIs’ role in bridging the gap between public funding and private investment is more crucial than ever.
