Transitioning Economies, Transforming Climate:
Financing Climate Action for a Green and Inclusive Future
The connection between development and climate change is increasingly clear: delivering on these together will require large-scale low-carbon and resilient investments. It will also require approaches that tackle the political economy of the low-carbon transition and help communities build long-lasting resilience to climate change.
What are the investments needed to achieve a green, resilient and sustainable future? How can we unlock private finance for climate action? How are countries stepping up to the challenge?
This event will look at the actions that are needed to create enabling environments, leverage different pools of capital at the right time, for specific needs, while involving communities and bringing them along in the global low-carbon, resilient transition. Ask your questions and take part in the World Bank Group/IMF Spring Meetings as we discuss #Finance4Climate with global leaders, country champions, and the private sector
