As the need for climate action rapidly grows we need to address the obstacles to investing in climate solutions in emerging markets. Blended finance can vastly increase the amount of money we have to spend on tackling climate change - but it needs to be scaled up.

The UN-convened Net Zero Asset Owners Alliance has released a report called ‘Scaling Blended Finance for Climate Change’. In light of this, we explore the value and impact of blended finance. We discuss the barriers and perceptions that make mobilising finance into emerging and developing economies difficult. We learn about the types of financial instruments that can be used to de-risk investments. And we hear about the latest investor trends targeting positive climate outcomes.

On the line up we have:

Michael Klaster, Portfolio Director Legal and General Capital 

Joost Zuidberg, CEO of Cardano Development

Louis LaPaz, Developer, Cardano Development

Bertrand Ketchassi, Investment Manager at InfraCo Africa 

Dr Nnamdi Igbokwe, Ph.D., Director, Knowledge and Thought Leadership at Convergence

Ivo Mulder, Head of the Climate Finance Unit at the UN Environment Programme

Your hosts are:
