Events

This event convenes practitioners from the multilateral climate finance system alongside students, emerging professionals and researchers at Columbia University to explore how blended finance is deployed to catalyze sustainable investment in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs).

The panel’s foundational conversation will build from first principles including:

• The Paris Agreement architecture
• The role of the Green Climate Fund
• How public and private capital interact across the climate finance system.

Speakers will unpack the roles of multilateral funds, development institutions, policy and data actors, and private financial institutions in moving capital from international commitments to real-economy climate outcomes.

The panel will be moderated by Dr Nnamdi Igbokwe, Senior Research Scholar and Co-Director of SIRI Blended Finance.
