Launch of the CEPR eBook on Scaling Up Sustainable Finance and Investment in the Global South

Dr. Karim El Aynaoui, Executive President of the Policy Center for the New South, will be presenting a chapter that he had co-authored with Dr. Otaviano Canuto at the online launch of the CEPR eBook organized by the CEPR Sustainable Finance Research and Policy Network.

About the event :

Emerging Market and Developing Economies have enormous investment needs in climate mitigation and adaptation. Most countries in the Global South also face significant impacts from climate change that need to be accounted for by the financial sector. Monetary and financial authorities as well as banks and other financial institutions in developing and emerging economies are increasingly seeking to address sustainability risks and scale up sustainable lending and investment. This CEPR eBook explores how the public sector (public banks and central banks) and the private sector (institutional investors and banks) can develop new policies, approaches and instruments and team up to scale up sustainable finance and investment in the Global South.
