Climate finance isn’t only about mobilizing capital, it’s about enabling institutions to use that capital well 💸 ️ Yesterday at the UNFCCC Pavilion at #COP30, FiCS and @IDFC_Network hosted a session highlighting that systemic coordination in aligning national and international resources is essential to unlocking the full potential of public development banks in scaling climate-smart, inclusive finance. 📈 What we explored: 📌 TA is the backbone of successful projects—yet often overlooked in favor of new financial instruments 🌐 South-South peer learning is in high demand, shifting away from traditional North-South knowledge transfer 🛠️ Innovative models like D-Lab (DBSA) and PDB Guarantee Hub (NDC Partnership) are scaling impact through replication and guarantees. 💡 Gender-lens investing and long-term capacity building drive sustainable change. The session also introduced the 𝗙𝗶𝗖𝗦 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗛𝘂𝗯, a new platform designed to connect PDBs with global TA providers, harmonize knowledge, and elevate TACB within the international financial architecture. 🔗 Explore the FiCS TA Hub: financeincommon.org/technica… A warm thank you to all speakers and partners who contributed to this important conversation.
