Mobilising Capital for Climate Action: Clarity that brings Circularity to Capital in Climate Financing

This session highlighted how banks, financial institutions, and global bodies such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, IFC, and Sovereign Green Funds are working to close the climate finance gap—particularly in markets like India, where capital remains expensive and constrained. It simplified the concept of blended climate finance—a strategic mix of loans, grants, and guarantees that reduces risk and enables private investment in sectors like renewable energy, EV infrastructure, and sustainable urban development.

This session examined how India’s long-term vision under Viksit Bharat 2047 aligns with the shifting global geopolitical landscape marked by conflict, energy insecurity, and disrupted trade routes.
