In this fireside chat, the IFC’s Alfonso Garcia Mora highlighted the four pillars for a successful strategy in mobilising climate finance:

  1. Reforming policy and regulatory reforms at a country and global level;

  2. Aligning the existing 30-plus different taxonomies across the world;

  3. Developing innovative and targeted financial instruments;

  4. Creating new partnerships to maximise collaboration.

“We have a big coordination failure,” says Garcia Mora on the need for institutions to work closely together, highlighting the role of multilateral bodies. Climate investments are, after all, a business opportunity. Despite the daunting task, the executive believes “the glass is half full”. See the full interview below.
