SUMMARY:Blended finance for climate action: good value for money?
DESCRIPTION:Dear colleagues\, \nWe are excited to invite you to our webinar “Blended finance for climate action: good value for money?” on February 28th at 3pm CET (UTC+5)\, together with ActionAid. \n  \n \nRegister \nOn 8 February\, Eurodad and ActionAid released “Blended finance for climate action: good value for money?”\, one of the first reports exploring the role of blended finance for climate action from a public interest and civil society perspective. \nDuring the 2023 United Nations climate conference in Dubai (COP28)\, the issue of ‘blended finance’ for climate action was a major focus at the inaugural Business and Philanthropy Climate Forum. This event saw global funds – the Green Climate Fund\, Allied Climate Partners and Allianz Global Investors – collectively announce the mobilisation of US$ 5 billion through several blended finance structures\, bringing together philanthropies\, development finance institutions (DFIs)\, and the private and public sectors. \nWhat is blended finance and what role does – and should – it have in climate action? This webinar will cover the key messages of the report\, and explore the challenges and opportunities that this approach presents. The event aims to initiate a debate on the topic\, facilitate knowledge sharing and build capacity among CSOs to engage with these complex discussions. \nREGISTER HERE \nWe welcome your feedback and engagement. \nKind regards\, \nStephanie\nhttps://www.eurodad.org/
