Designing the Next Asset Class: Climate-Linked Private Debt
Institutional investors increasingly seek climate-aligned debt financing opportunities in emerging markets, yet systemic barriers, from FX volatility to fragmented deal flow, prevent capital inflows. This session explores how de-risking tools, blended finance structures, and Article 6 carbon credit monetization can unlock scalable SDG investment pathways and catalyze private capital injection into high-impact, frontier market projects.
Framing this topic
This short section provides context for the event to ensure all participants, regardless of prior knowledge, are equipped to engage with the discussion.
Emerging markets present significant opportunities for climate investment, yet systemic barriers, such as currency volatility, fragmented deal pipelines, and lack of scalable vehicles, continue to deter institutional capital. This session explores how private debt structures, de-risking tools (e.g., DFI guarantees), and monetization of Article 6 carbon credits can create investable, replicable solutions. We will unpack key concepts like blended finance, SDG-aligned project aggregation, and structured credit to equip all participants for an informed, interactive dialogue.
