While green finance has so far been strongly focused on emission avoidance, climate adaptation and biodiversity protection are increasingly emerging as critical priorities for investments. This session will shed light on how private capital can be mobilised in a targeted manner. Practical models, key players and political framework conditions will be discussed in order to strengthen green finance as a lever for a sustainable transformation.
