From Risk to Return: De-Risking Climate Mitigation in Emerging Markets
The global climate finance system is broken. Investors hold significant resources in climate capital, yet emerging markets, where the vast majority of the world's vulnerable people live, receive a fraction of climate investment. The barrier isn't lack of capital, it is risk management gap.
Most climate mitigation projects in the Global South fail not because the climate science is uncertain, but because investors lack confidence in project quality, regulatory durability, and carbon credit integrity. Many projects lack rigorous monitoring, have overstated additionality claims, and are beset by weak governance frameworks.
This talk reveals the practical framework for bridging that gap and turning perceived risk into bankable certainty.
