Storyline

World experts in energy, finance, and technology came together at the #Innovate4Climate Finance and Markets Week in Barcelona to discuss ways to scale up financing for climate action.

Many attendees say they are here seeking new partnerships.

SOUNDBITE (English) Daniel Rossetto, CEO, Climate Mundial:
“Innovate4Climate is a great opportunity for private sector organizations to come to one place and interact with international financiers from all over the world to raise funding for ambitious climate action projects in developing countries.”

The ‘Innovate 4 Climate’ conference is building on the momentum of the COP 21 Paris Agreement of 2015 – which the World Bank Group says could tap at least 23 trillion dollars in investments in emerging markets between now and 2030.

SOUNDBITE (English) James Close, Director, Climate Change, World Bank Group:
“We really want to see acceleration and investment in scaling up the funding of climate related projects, and we want to work with all of the providers of finance so that they can come together and find opportunities in investments that are available, and our role is to help them do that by presenting opportunities to them building policy and regulatory environments that enable investments to flow.”

The conference is part of a global effort to improve policies and reduce risk for countries transitioning to low-carbon, climate resilient economies.
