Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to our side event on Blended Finance to Mobilise Private Capital for Clean Energy, held during the UN HLD Thematic Session on Finance and Investment, on 25 June 2021 12:00-13:00 CEST (6:00-7:00 EDT).

The theme report on Finance and Investment prepared for the UN High Level Dialogue on Energy, identified as one of its recommendations the need to “Make better use of blended finance schemes to mobilise and maximize private capital for clean energy investments and innovative energy technologies”. It highlighted the potential to attract trillions in clean energy investments by “scaling the use of blended finance mechanisms and de-risking instruments coupled with commercial financing, multilateral portfolio guarantees and result-based financing”.

This side event will explore the potential to develop an Energy Compact on Blended Finance, providing countries, development finance actors and investors an opportunity to highlight lessons learned from establishing blended finance mechanisms in the clean energy sector. The event will also aim to identify where further opportunities exist to use limited development assistance to mobilise clean energy investments and how different stakeholders can enhance collaboration to catalyse investments.
