During the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development held in Seville, Spain, ESCWA, in collaboration with the UN regional commissions, organized a high-level side-event titled “Mobilizing Finance for Sustainable Development: Prospects and Challenges of Innovative Financing Instruments”.
The event, held on 30 June, brought together policymakers and practitioners from multiple regions to exchange experiences, discuss challenges, and explore opportunities in mobilizing finance for sustainable development through innovative instruments.
Discussions focused on national sustainable financing frameworks; Green, Social, Sustainability, and Sustainability-linked (GSSS) bond issuances and post-issuance, scaling up climate/SDGs debt swaps, and country platform approaches to improve access to innovative finance.
