Mobilizing Private Capital For Climate Acrion

About this event

As the global economy undergoes a historic transition—driven by rising electricity demand, AI transition, and supply chain resilience imperatives—private capital mobilization for climate action presents a major growth opportunity. Critical priorities include grid modernization, electrification, waste management, water security, sustainable agriculture, and climate adaptation. These investments are essential for economic competitiveness, job creation, national security, and strategic autonomy in emerging and developing economies (EMDEs). Yet private flows to EMDEs remain constrained by risk-return parameters, credit gaps, market development shortfalls, and limited bankable projects. Financial institutions face particular challenges financing climate-resilient agriculture and supply chain resilience, where underlying risks require innovative risk-sharing frameworks. This panel examines how banks, insurers, and development finance institutions can de-risk climate investments and unlock private capital at scale. Drawing on risk-sharing, blended finance, and sustainable debt markets, panelists will discuss what mechanisms are working across electrification and resilient systems, where gaps remain, and how the financial sector can position developing economies for growth and security while closing the capital mobilization gap.
