Private Sector Mobilization for Climate: Why a Pipeline of Bankable PPPs Matters

The world is in transformation, as the COVID-19 pandemic upended decades of development progress, geopolitical tensions are on the rise, and the climate crisis presents an existential threat to the survival of people and the planet.

To build resilience, adapt to the changing climate, and lift people out of poverty, developing low-carbon, climate-resilient infrastructure will be key. However, investors and financial institutions have signaled that a lack of bankable projects is one of the largest hurdles they face in financing infrastructure projects in emerging markets.

Helping to bridge this gap, Public Private Partnerships (PPP) can be a catalyst for climate action and can mobilize private capital and finance to accelerate an inclusive transition to a low-carbon, resilient market economy.
