What makes a climate investment a good investment? This session will specifically discuss this topic, bringing first-hand experience from an expert, Demetrio Innocenti, who works for the Green Climate Fund and has spent 20 years working on climate-related projects in several countries. During this session, we will discuss specific examples of how decision-making on financing public or private funding proposals in climate mitigation and adaptation practically works and which investment criteria are used to determine whether or not to invest in these projects. Also, we will talk about the emerging role of carbon markets as drivers of capital for climate actions.
