Greening and scaling up public finance is critical, but it is not enough. Significantly scaling up private sector finance, including through greening value chains, green financial products (e.g. funds and loans) and carbon finance is needed to channel more resources toward activities with a positive impact on the environment and society. The Carbon Finance Summit, held over 2 half-days at the Blue Zone at COP29, aims to bring together high-level thought leaders from government, corporate, financiers, civil society and media to highlight the right investments and tools that can most effectively deliver the best outcomes for climate, nature and people.
