Blended finance: Can it deliver on impact?

Unlocking private and public capital is essential in funding our transition to a sustainable future. To meet this need, different models of blended finance are being developed across sectors. Gold Standard Fund Requirements were created in 2022 to support sustainable project development by creating optimal enabling conditions to attract climate finance, and de-risk investments through robust measurement and reporting of impacts.

This panel will discuss the benefits and potential advantages of different finance models – all with the aim to scale to trillions.
