Navigating the policy maze: unlocking transition finance in emerging markets

28 October 2024, 3:00 PM GMT

In the evolving world of transition finance, emerging markets face unique challenges in aligning with global standards while tailoring solutions to local realities. As new regulatory frameworks and transition finance taxonomies emerge, they are reshaping how capital flows toward sustainable development. For emerging economies, the pressure to decarbonize is mounting, but navigating fragmented taxonomies and inconsistent regulations around transition finance often creates barriers to attracting the vital investment required to meet their climate goals.

This is the second webinar in the "Transforming Tomorrow - Empowering Emerging Markets through Transition Finance" series, and it will explore how global and regional regulatory shifts—including the push for taxonomy harmonization and regulatory alignment—are driving the development of transition finance in emerging markets. We'll discuss how these regions can position themselves to take advantage of new transition finance regulations, attract more capital, and align with global standards, while ensuring that local contexts are fully addressed. Attendees will gain insights into how emerging markets can overcome policy fragmentation, build stronger financial frameworks, and drive impactful climate action.

  • 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.

Why Attend & What You'll Learn

This webinar provides practical guidance on how to navigate the transition finance landscape, capitalize on new opportunities, and help shape a more inclusive and effective global transition to net-zero.
