This roundtable brings together key stakeholders, including representatives from multilateral development banks, insurers/reinsurers and local community stakeholders, to explore how public and private financing actors can effectively collaborate on innovative financing instruments. 

This includes debt for climate and nature swaps and sustainability linked bonds to align financing solutions with national development priorities, while at the same time attracting private capital in sustainability-linked sovereign financing.
