The Road to $1.3 Trillion

In this episode, Avinash Persaud, Special Advisor on Climate Change to the President of the Inter-American Development Bank, unpacks the urgent and ambitious journey toward mobilizing $1.3 trillion in climate finance for developing countries. From the origins of the roadmap at COP29 in Baku to the innovative "Reinvest+" initiative, Persaud challenges conventional thinking around private sector mobilization and offers a scalable solution to bridge the climate finance gap. Discover how existing performing loans in developing countries can be transformed into investment-grade securities that attract global institutional investors—creating a virtuous cycle of reinvestment, trust, and climate-aligned development. #IDB #Improvinglives #IDBImpact+ At the Inter-American Development Bank we work to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean. http://www.iadb.org
