The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), under its Clean Energy Finance and Investment Mobilisation (CEFIM) Programme, jointly with the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)'s Centre for Economic Transition Expertise (CETEx) are hosting a roundtable on Unlocking Climate Capital: widening the policy toolkit and accelerating the use of blended finance in EMDEs for clean energy and broader climate action in São Paulo on Friday 7 November 2025.
The roundtable will convene senior experts and decision makers from governments, central banks and financial authorities, as well as representatives from bilateral donors, MDBs and other DFIs, the private sector, academia and civil society to discuss:
- Innovative policy and regulatory approaches, and instruments to unlock private capital flows to emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs), including addressing regulatory barriers, reshaping credit rating methodologies and leveraging central bank and reserve tools.
- Concrete solutions for scaling up the use and effectiveness of blended finance for climate action in EMDEs, especially in clean energy.
The roundtable will conclude with a proposed tangible path forward: further development of delivery pathways for priority areas identified and agreement of a set of tangible, impactful priorities for action to present to policymakers for implementation.
