Summary

Worldwide savings, private finance and capital markets – in particular domestic markets – can play a key role helping to close the financing gap for the SDGs. However, there is a lack of investment opportunities and investable projects that have the right risk, return, transparency profiles and scale to match the requirements of domestic and international investors. Meeting the SDGs requires a more effective financial framework which can bridge public and private interests and has the capacity in providing project development and financial advisory services. This includes structuring, packaging, and facilitating deals, bringing together co-financing including from public and private sources (“blending”), advising both sides of the market, helping to build investment pipelines, and bringing opportunities to scale through pooled finance, special purpose vehicles, and other funding structures. This side event will lay out actionable ideas and solutions for creating local pipelines of investable projects and a new financial industry for sustainable finance.
