11th OECD Forum on Green Finance and Investment

Unlocking investments for water

Oct 16, 2024 | 9:30 AM - 10:40 AM

Auditorium & Online

The session is an opportunity to engage with the work of the Global Commission on the Economics of Water and explore concrete next steps. One important message is that water is an investable asset class, that provides opportunities for a wide range of financiers and investors. The session is designed to share experience with financing water and to characterise the enabling conditions for making water an investable asset. The scope reaches beyond water and covers sectors that address – or compound – water crises, including energy transition, land use change or nature conservation. Particular attention will be paid to Just Water Partnerships, as a tool to mobilise and structure finance across sectors in a given jurisdiction.
