Despite growing recognition that climate change poses systemic financial risks, financing for mitigation and adaptation remains far below required levels, particularly in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs), which are both highly vulnerable to climate shocks and often least prepared to respond. 

With public funding constrained, mobilizing private capital is essential.
This paper presents practical, targeted solutions to key investment barriers, drawing on insights from policymakers,MDBs, DFIs, private investors, and climate finance specialists. It incorporates perspectives from a diverse set of private investors with different strategies, risk profiles, and growth objectives. One such solution is to streamline risk-sharing mechanisms by simplifying and standardizing de-risking tools, such as blended finance instruments and first-loss capital.
