On 22 November 2019 (4:00PM CET) The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is holding a webinar on "Scaling up climate-compatible infrastructure - Insights from national development banks in Brazil and South Africa".
The OECD estimates that USD 6.9 trillion is required globally each year to 2030 to make infrastructure climate-compatible. For developing countries that need to increase infrastructure access and quality, this requires scaling up and shifting public and private capital towards climate-compatible alternatives.
National development banks (NDBs) and development finance institutions are poised to play a role in scaling up investment for climate-compatible infrastructure. What are the key advantages for these institutions in supporting the Paris Agreement? How can governments and the international climate finance community fully enable this potential?
Join Anthony Cox of the Environment Directorate, along with Özlem Taskin and Jens Sedemund of the Development Co-operation Directorate, on 22 November at 16h00 to discuss key insights from recent work under the Financing Climate Futures initiative on the role of NDBs in scaling up climate-compatible infrastructure with case studies on Brazil and South Africa.
