A New Blueprint for Financing the Green Transition in Emerging Markets: The Global Green Bond Initiative

Emerging markets need an estimated $4 trillion annually until 2030 to meet the SDGs and face a potential shortfall over $10 trillion by 2050 for the climate transition. Yet, green finance flows to EM countries remain critically underfunded.

Drawing on the experience of structuring the Global Green Bond Initiative (GGBI) fund, the discussion will explore how blended finance structures are reshaping the risk-return profile of green debt in emerging markets, and what a replicable model for mobilising private capital at scale looks like.

Join senior voices from across the responsible investments, development finance, and asset management ecosystem for a focused discussion on:

• How can private investors seize the opportunity to invest in the EM green transition?
• How do blended finance structures absorb risk, crowd in institutional investors, and set new standards for EM green bond markets?
• How does the GGBI model offer a replicable blueprint for channeling institutional capital into EM at scale?
