As the need for climate action rapidly grows we need to address the obstacles to investing in climate solutions in emerging markets. Blended finance can vastly increase the amount of money we have to spend on tackling climate change - but it needs to be scaled up.The UN-convened Net Zero Asset Owners Alliance has released a report called ‘Scaling Blended Finance for Climate Change’. In light of this, we explore the value and impact of blended finance. We discuss the barriers and perceptions that make mobilising finance into emerging and developing economies difficult. We learn about the types of financial instruments that can be used to de-risk investments.
