The water sector faces a huge financing gap, needing 0.5%–3% of GDP yearly. Public funds cover 91% of spending, but private sector input is only 1.7%. Clear policies, blended finance, & incentives are key to driving more private sector involvement. #COP29

Sharing #COP29 recap and insights from our VP Mohamed Gouled.
From Mohamed Gouled, VP of Industries at IFC - International Finance Corporation: “I had an incredible time last week at COP29, where I had the privilege of participating in several important discussions, ranging from #climatefinance to access to electricity to people in Sub-Sharan Africa. Here’s the wrap-up of some of the key discussions: ? At the “Mission 300: Bringing Electricity to 300 million Africans through Innovation and Partnerships,” I highlighted the need for private sector investment, as the public sector alone can’t meet the financing needs. We also announced our investment in Acumen’s hard-to-reach initiative to boost access to clean and affordable energy in Africa. Watch: M300 event: https://lnkd.in/draTGu5D. Read: https://lnkd.in/eBqTi6BD.) ?During the discussion on “Unlocking institutional capital for the climate transition in emerging markets,” hosted by ILX, we noted that MDBs must deepen their collaboration more than ever, from developing products to measuring impact. That’s critical, as we explore ways to attract new investment sources, including from institutional investors, who manage hundreds of trillions in assets. ?During the panel session on “Equity Financing Gap in EMDEs,” we emphasized the critical role of equity investments in driving growth in EMDEs. The global equity gap is estimated at $12.3 trillion. Equity financing can help enhance risk-sharing through public-private partnerships and optimizing scarce public funds. However, challenges include foreign exchange risk and regulatory or policy uncertainties. To address these, we are testing our capacity to support governments through our M300 initiative and developing a country-level, tranched FX risk-sharing facility, which we aim to pilot soon. We look forward to working with our partners, including Allied Capital Partners (ACP) and Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ). ?During the roundtable hosted by Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA) on creating demand-stimulating policies to accelerate green industrial projects, we pointed out the need to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors, such as cement and steel. This requires unlocking large-scale financing, stimulating demand for low-carbon products, and creating an enabling environment through public and private sector collaboration. For more: https://lnkd.in/dT3zXKuK) ? ?At at the “Leaders Roundtable on Energy: Advancing Climate Mitigation Action,” we emphasized the importance of private capital mobilization for the energy transition and highlighted IFC’s efforts in channeling investments and transferring technical knowledge to support energy transition in Africa and beyond. ? My deepest gratitude to the organizers and our incredible #IFC colleagues for their unwavering support and active participation at COP29, tackling climate change—one of the greatest challenges of our time. ?

We're excited to be part of the initiative! During #COP29, The World Bank Group, together with 10 leading international development finance institutions, pledged their support to the "10GW Lighthouse Initiative". This initiative aims to accelerate the global deployment of renewable #hydrogen projects in emerging markets and developing economies. ? Discover more about IFC - International Finance Corporation's efforts in this area? https://lnkd.in/gBsAcckp ? Breakthrough Agenda Hydrogen Council Valerie Levkov Don Purka Ignacio de Calonje IFC Manufacturing #IFCCleanHydrogen #IFCInfrastructure #IFCManufacturing #AcceleratingTheTransition
Congratulations to the The World Bank Group for convening a strong group of national and international development #finance institutions to pledge their collective support to the << 10 GW Lighthouse Initiative >>, which aims to foster collaboration towards bringing #renewablehydrogen projects of between 100 MW and 1 GW in size in emerging markets and developing economies to Final Investment Decision (FID) stage by 2030! Hydrogen Council’s data show that over 400 large-scale hydrogen projects world-wide have now passed the FID stage, representing some $75 billion in committed capital. However, it also shows we need another 8x investment jump by 2030 to achieve global climate goals. The 10 GW Lighthouse Initiative and its practical focus on #projectexecution is therefore exactly what we need at this stage of hydrogen deployment and the Hydrogen Council is pleased to support it by sharing industry data and hands-on experience with deploying projects in EMDEs & beyond. Thank you to Breakthrough Agenda for hosting a stakeholder roundtable to grow awareness of this important Initiative and discuss what needs to happen to make it a success!
