As the world races toward a 2050 net zero target, emerging markets and developing economies will play an increasingly important role. When deployed strategically, transition finance has the potential to drive sustainable growth, foster climate resilience, and position these economies as leaders in the global transition to a sustainable future.
Over the coming months, Environmental Finance and IFC will present the "Transforming Tomorrow: Empowering Emerging Markets Through Transition Finance" webinar series that will feature five webinars covering what transition finance is, the regulatory frameworks and taxonomies, its acceptance by investors and how to support the growth of credible transition markets in developing countries.
We will provide a practical discussion with market experts, sector leaders, and financial stakeholders. Together, we will explore how finance professionals, investors, policymakers, and corporates can collaborate to strengthen a credible, resilient transition finance market specifically designed for emerging economies. We will dive into the challenges and opportunities presented by transition finance and offer actionable insights on how to align financial strategies with the distinct needs of these markets.
The webinar series offers a rare opportunity to understand the unique challenges and tailored solutions required for emerging and developing economies as well as practical guidance on how to navigate the transition finance landscape and help shape a more inclusive and effective global transition to net zero.
The webinar series is ideal for:
- Investors and financial institutions focused on emerging markets looking to capitalize on sustainable finance opportunities.
- Corporate leaders in high-emission sectors seeking guidance on transition pathways and finance options.
- Policymakers and regulators who are shaping the frameworks that will govern climate finance in developing economies.
