Oct 6, 2022 | 9:50 AM - 10:15 AM

Session Description

Investment is chasing dark green assets. However, not all countries have adequate reporting capacities – green investment opportunities might be missed. Over 97% of sustainable capital is invested in high-income countries. At the same time, emerging markets need investment to help transition assets to green. How to avoid that some countries are left behind, and unequal access to finance is magnified? Investment products structured to support transition and the right policy incentives are needed to draw capital to low-income countries. This Fireside Chat will discuss the risks of green finance inequity and solutions to mitigate them.
