SUMMARY:UCL-Chatham House Grand Challenges kick-off workshop: International governance structures for risk underwriting for low-carbon investments in developing countries
DESCRIPTION:About this Event\n  The objective of the workshop is to interrogate the political\, legal and economic aspects of the public international climate finance mechanisms and governance structures required to catalyse investments in low-carbon assets at scale in developing economies. More specifically\, the event will aim to identify the gaps in boosting risk underwriting for low-carbon investments and discuss the areas of intervention through research and policy engagement. In particular\, the workshop will: – Assess the extent to which the dominant concessional international climate finance mechanisms (loans) match market and/or low-carbon technologies maturity. – Explore the role of non-debt instruments that can facilitate market creation\, catalyse investments\, and enhance international climate public finance efficiency. – Discuss the legal and institutional preconditions for scaling up international risk-sharing frameworks\, including the role of multilateral processes (e.g.\, COP\, G20\, BASIC)\, quasi-state actors (such as sovereign wealth funds)\, and emerging proposals for multi-sovereign guarantee facilities. – Address the political economy constraints on international coordination and governance models\, and how these might be overcome through targeted interventions during Brazil’s COP30 and South Africa’s G20 presidency. This event is invitation-only. If you wish to express your interest in attending\, please complete the form below\, and we’ll contact you if we have spare capacity.
