The world faces unprecedented environmental and social challenges. Therefore, the importance of financing development and specifically sustainable development is being recognised globally.
Climate finance can play a key role in attaining the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and gives participants the opportunity to act in a responsible way. Sustainable finance approaches and instruments are fundamental to incentivise the transition to more sustainable practices, to reduce carbon emissions and to allow societies and economies to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change.
Cognisant of the rapid growth and relevance of the green bond market and bearing in mind the strong appetite for these innovative debt instruments, the Asia LEDS Partnership and the Africa LEDS Partnership are collaborating with the Climate and Development Knowledge Network to organise a South-South exchange on the growth of green bonds markets.
Moderator: Joan Manda – Senior SDG Investment Advisor, UNDP, Co-Chair, LEDS GP Finance Working Group
