Add eventAppleGoogleOffice 365OutlookOutlook.comYahoo
Although climate finance has reached its record high, it is still falling short of what is needed, especially in lower income countries and countries in fragile situations. Through Nordic action, we help unlock private sector investments through blended finance, public-private partnerships, and matching concessional grants for investments. In this event, we discuss how this can help the climate action.

Next-generation clean cooking solutions
Incentivising change with pan-Nordic results-based financing
DECEMBER 4, 17.00–17.45 (UTC+4)
Add eventAppleGoogleOffice 365OutlookOutlook.comYahoo
Lack of access to clean cooking is a global challenge. Supporting next-generation clean cooking solutions through results-based financing can accelerate the green energy transition and help combat climate change in Africa.
The event will cover discussions on the need for financial support, access to carbon financing, policy advocacy and development of technology standards from a private-public angle. These measures can support the private sector to de-risk market expansion and scale up activities, promoting the creation of new markets for modern clean cooking solutions to strengthen climate resilience in Africa.
