The Role of DFIs in Accelerating the Mobilisation of Green Capital

Resource Description

This resource examines how development finance institutions (DFIs) can accelerate green capital flows in emerging markets by addressing financing gaps and enabling private investment in climate-aligned projects.

Why This Matters

Mobilizing private capital is essential to meet climate goals in emerging economies. DFIs are uniquely positioned to de-risk investments and build pipelines for bankable green projects.

Key Insights

  • Highlights DFIs’ catalytic role through risk mitigation, blended finance, and local market development
  • Recommends DFIs prioritize high-impact sectors, support early-stage project development, and strengthen regulatory frameworks
  • Emphasizes the importance of collaboration between DFIs, MDBs, and local actors to scale green finance
