By linking scale with impact, green bonds and SLBs can play a crucial role in mobilising private capital towards climate and development needs. For public sector actors, these instruments hold numerous advantages – including driving financing towards green assets, and signaling a strong commitment to climate, transition, and development goals. They can also set benchmarks for corporate and financial issuers to follow. This session will bring together actors from the development finance ecosystem to discuss the barriers and opportunities to effectively scaling up public sector green bond and SLB issuances in EMDEs.
