Why Belém Matters

In this episode, Avinash Persaud explores how multilateral development banks and global partners are reshaping climate finance — not from scratch, but by building on proven action. From resilient infrastructure to renewable energy, developing countries are already investing billions, despite limited fiscal space and mounting climate challenges. At the heart of the conversation is Belém — a turning point for climate and nature alignment, where innovation meets urgency. Discover how initiatives like ReInvest+ and debt-for-resilience swaps are unlocking trillions in private and public capital, and why Belém is more than a summit — it’s a launchpad for scalable solutions, sustainable finance, and real-world impact. #IDB #Improvinglives #IDBImpact+ At the Inter-American Development Bank we work to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean. http://www.iadb.org
