Balancing mitigation and economic growth: what is the role of transformative portfolios, green bonds, and green energy?
In efforts to mitigate climate change through development cooperation, policymakers face the dual challenge of promoting socio-economic development while making substantial contributions to reducing emissions.
7 November 2024 | 09:00 ET to 10:00 ET | Baku, Azerbaijan
This session discusses the opportunities, challenges, and (arguably) conflicting goals of stimulating pro-poor economic development while trying to reduce GHG-emissions. It discusses the pivotal role of Green Bonds in bridging the gap between development goals and climate goals. Lastly, it will provide an on-the-ground perspective and evidence on the trade-offs and synergies between providing access to energy in rural Africa, supporting pro-poor economic development, and mitigation.
